      Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name from consideration to serve as Donald Trump’s attorney general amid accusations he had sex with a 17-year-old girl. 

      In a statement, the former Florida representative said: “I had excellent meetings with senators yesterday.  I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many.  While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition.  

      “There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General.  Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.  

      “I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful president in history.  I will forever be honoured that president Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America.”

      I’m sure the replacement will be someone of high character and moral standing. /s

      He’ll be back in the hosue on Jan 20th. Florida voted him in, in November.

      He gets a winter vacation. Laura trump is probably mad. She needed the clout to sell her yoga pants.

      He met with individual senators this week behind closed doors. You just know in private Gaetz heard 40 different versions of “no fucking way” from each one.

      I’m going to say this was part of the terms of them hiding his report.

      Out of congress and out of AG. He’s probably livid.

      On to his fox news anchor position!

      So he got nominated, resigned from congress so this investigation couldn’t be released, then withdrew his name for AG once people started pushing to have the investigation still released….and none of this seems suspicious to the Republican supporters?

      He wasn’t really Trump’s first choice anyways. The only reason Gaetz got nominated is because Jeffery Epstein was already dead.

      Trump is checking the Sex Offender website for his next candidate.

      Shit, I was hoping he would be too busy to run for FL governor but I guess i have that to look forward to.

      I suppose Trump will designate one of his lawyers or Aileen Cannon for the job

      let’s be clear here – the next nominee will be equally horrible and awful (if not, worse). Celebrate that this piece of trash won’t benefit personally from this position, but be careful not to celebrate too much!

      If you called your members of Congress this week to protest Matt Gaetz, THANK YOU. I did too, almost everyday, and that backlash matters. Thank you to everyone who contacted their members of Congress about this.

      Whether you’re a Republican or Democrat… it shouldn’t be that hard to admit he was not the right fit for the job

      NY Times just released Mafia style web of payments linked from DoJ

      Has Gaetz ever pulled out of anything as young as his candidacy?
