Senator-elect Adam Schiff made clear he wasn’t going to allow Trump’s threats to sic the military on members of Congress such as himself and Nancy Pelosi while discussing the Gaetz nomination this Sunday on CNN.
Host Jake Tapper asked Schiff what he thought of Trump nominating Gaetz, and Speaker Johnson’s mealymouthed response when asked about refusing to release the House ethics committee report on Gaetz. Schiff hit the nail on the head with what Trump is doing by nominating these lunatics.
SCHIFF: I think he’s not only unqualified. He is really disqualified. Are we really going to have an attorney general who there’s credible allegations he was involved in child sex trafficking, potential illicit drug use, obstruction of an investigation, who has no experience serving in the Justice Department, only being investigated by it?
But, Jake, I think the whole point with these nominees, several of them, is their unqualification, is their affirmative disqualification. That’s Trump’s point, because what he wants to do with these nominees is establish that the Congress of the United States will not stand up to him with anything.
