Michael Steele dismisses GOP Senate rumors on Gaetz nomination as laughable

Former RNC chair Michael Steele dismissed reports that most Senate Republicans oppose Donald Trump's nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general. Steele called the situation "laughable" during an MSNBC segment, questioning the credibility of unnamed sources. Ex-Rep Joe Walsh suggested that leaks about Gaetz and ex-Rep Tulsi Gabbard, nominated for Director of National Intelligence, could hinder their confirmation hearings. Steele agreed, labeling Senate Republicans as "wusses" for not openly opposing the nominations. Despite the skepticism, Trump's team remains confident in securing Gaetz's confirmation, even if it leads to a contentious battle in the Senate.
