US: Matt Gaetz Nominated as Attorney General, Tulsi Gabbard Nominated as Director of National Intelligence
The Facts
Donald Trump has nominated former Democrat Tusli Gabbard and now-former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz to assume the respective roles of Director of National Intelligence and Attorney General in the President-elect's new administration.Donald Trump has nominated former Democrat Tusli Gabbard and now-former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz to assume the respective roles of Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and Attorney General in the President-elect's new administration.
Pres.-elect Trump described Gaetz as a "deeply gifted and tenacious attorney" who would "root out the systemic corruption" at the Department of Justice (DOJ); and claimed Gabbard would bring a "fearless spirit" to "championing our Constitutional Rights and securing Peace through Strength."
The Spin
Trump's dangerous decisions to place Gabbard and Gaetz in charge of the DOJ and DNI is a blatant attempt to rip up America's democratic institutions from the inside. Aside from their shocking lack of experience, given Gaetz's disturbing run-ins with the law, and Gabbard's grudge against the intelligence community for allegedly placing her on a terrorism watch list, these appointments perfectly sum up the entire purpose of the second Trump administration: unapologetic revenge.
The Leftist establishment is having a full-blown meltdown as Trump continues to defy the status quo and nominate individuals who wish to liberate American politics from deep state special interests. Despite all the outcries of Democrats and the woke media, Trump's proposed appointments are exactly what the majority of Americans voted for. The public is insistent that now is the time to drain the swamp, and MAGA 2.0 will do exactly that.
