In response to Donald Trump\u2019s handpicked AG nominee Matt Gaetz withdrawing under a mountain of scandals,<\/em> DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s disastrous Cabinet choices are already backfiring with the implosion of his \u2018totally incompetent<\/a>\u2019 pick for attorney general Matt Gaetz. Picking Gaetz once again proved that Trump will stoop to any low to exact his agenda of revenge and retribution. As Trump goes back to the drawing board after an early L, it\u2019s clear he\u2019ll be focused on the same set of criteria: a dangerous loyalist who will always put Trump ahead of our justice system and the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udea8 <\/strong>BREAKING: Ultra-MAGA loyalist Matt Gaetz <\/strong>withdrew<\/strong><\/a> his bid for attorney general after facing a mountain of scandals and members of his own party admitting he is \u201ctotally incompetent.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Gaetz<\/a>: \u201cI’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leigh Ann Caldwell, Washington Post<\/a>: \u201c<\/strong>McConnell on Matt Gaetz withdrawing from AG: \u2018I think that was appropriate.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Times<\/a>: \u201cMatt Gaetz\u2019s Withdrawal Follows Revelations in Sex-Trafficking Inquiry\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: <\/strong>\u201cNumerous Republican lawmakers told Donald Trump and his team that they believe his pick to be attorney general, controversial Rep. Matt Gaetz, has little chance of being confirmed, according to multiple Senate Republicans<\/strong> and people around Trump. And they\u2019re privately hoping Trump doesn\u2019t make them walk the plank<\/strong>. […]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKnowing how toxic a character <\/strong>they are dealing with, Senate Republicans are worried about getting tarnished by the process. […]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNearly a dozen Senate Republicans refused to say they\u2019d back Gaetz<\/strong> when prodded by POLITICO last night. Those who are<\/em> speaking aren\u2019t being particularly kind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cJOHN BOLTON, former U.N. ambassador and national security adviser:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018It must be the worst nomination for a Cabinet secretary in American history.<\/strong> I think this is something that falls well outside the scope of deference that should be given to a president in nominating members of the senior team. Gaetz is not only totally incompetent for this job, he doesn\u2019t have the character. He is a person of moral turpitude.<\/strong>\u2019 […]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSEN. LISA MURKOWSKI, Alaska:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018I do not see him as a serious candidate.<\/strong> The president is free to nominate whoever he may wish. Our constitutional role in nominations is to provide advice. … I don\u2019t know that any of my Senate colleagues advise that Matt Gaetz name should go up<\/strong>, but it\u2019s what (Trump) apparently has advanced. But, then our role is to determine the consent end of it. Do we give our consent or do we not?\u2019 […]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u200b\u200bREP. MIKE SIMPSON, Idaho:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018That was about as big a surprise as I\u2019ve had in a long time. I have a really hard time believing he could get through the Senate confirmation process. <\/strong>You never know.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSEN. THOM TILLIS, North Carolina:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018I\u2019ve got very few skills. Vote-counting is one. I think he\u2019s got a lot of work to do to get 50<\/strong>\u2019 votes in the Senate. \u2018Presumably, the folks who have put him forward have gamed that out. But, I\u2019m sure it will make for a popcorn-eating confirmation hearing<\/strong>. Mr. Gaetz and I have jousted on certain issues between the House and the Senate. … There\u2019s obviously been a lot of disagreements between members of the Senate and Mr. Gaetz<\/strong>.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Times<\/a>: \u201cSenate Republicans reacted with alarm and dismay<\/strong> to President-elect Donald J. Trump\u2019s decision to nominate Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, for attorney general, and several said they were skeptical that he would be able to secure enough votes for confirmation<\/strong>. […]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018I was shocked by the announcement \u2014 that shows why the advice and consent process is so important,\u2019 said Senator Susan Collins<\/strong>, a Maine Republican, who has sometimes clashed with Mr. Trump. \u2018I\u2019m sure that there will be a lot of questions raised at his hearing.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cOne House Republican in the meeting described the conference’s response as \u2018stunned and disgusted.\u2019\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaetz \u2013 who Trump has praised as one of his \u201cwarriors\u201d \u2013 wants to defund federal law enforcement, calling to abolish agencies like the FBI.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cAn unburdened Rep. Gaetz calls for abolishing the FBI, CDC, ATF\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMinutes later, Gaetz, now serving on the select committee investigating the so-called weaponization of the federal government, suggested eliminating federal investigative agencies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018I don\u2019t care if it takes every second of our time and every ounce of our energy, we either get this government back on our side or we defund, get rid of, abolish the FBI CDC, ATF,\u2019 Gaetz said to applause.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
