Fox News contributor Andy McCarthy labeled President-elect Trump's nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general as "foolish" and "stunned" by the choice, emphasizing that Gaetz's role in efforts to reverse the 2020 election results disqualifies him for such an important constitutional role.
McCarthy recognized Gaetz's political and legal talents but described him as coming off as a "five-alarm jerk" and being "deeply unpopular" in Capitol Hill, underscoring concerns over his suitability for the attorney general position.
Highlighting the challenges ahead, McCarthy pointed out that discussing Gaetz's nomination is unproductive as he is seen as "unconfirmable," warning that Trump's insistence on this nomination could intensify GOP conflicts and enable Democrats.
Reaction to Gaetz's nomination was overwhelmingly negative, with fellow Fox News contributors and Senate Republicans expressing their skepticism, showcasing a consensus of concern about Gaetz's viability and the direction of Trump's decision-making.
