Trump Administration

From Representative Davidson on Gaetz


President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet choices — some of which have caused quite a stir — do not represent “retribution,” but “justice,” Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) said during an interview Thursday on Breitbart News Daily.

Host Mike Slater asked Davidson what he personally thinks of Trump choosing now-former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as his attorney general.
I’m so energized. I mean, I went to my comms guy said, you know, find me the clip where Chuck Schumer is out there saying ‘You’ve reaped the whirlwind; now you will pay the price.’ And so, you know, I got the clip. We couldn’t get the clip fast enough up,” he said, then addressing the shrieks from the left who claim that Trump’s choices represent “retribution.”

“Now they’re like, ‘Oh, this is, this is retribution,’ and it’s like, ‘No, no. It’s justice. You really did do these things,” he said, laying out specifics of what the left has done.
You really did target pro-life Catholics. You really did target parents who went to school board meetings, and weaponized the government. You really have put people in prison for non-violent offenses. You’ve tried to bankrupt people. You’ve completely corrupted and abused the whole purpose of the Department of Justice, and that is going to be remedied, and frankly, the people that have done it are going to be held accountable,” Davidson promised.
You know, remember when it was a conspiracy theory that they were censoring people, and then Elon Musk bought Twitter, we get the Twitter files, and now Mark Zuckerberg is like, ‘Yeah, yeah, we’re doing it. This is what we’re doing,'” the congressman continued. “There has to be accountability for that.

Gaetz was only nominated so he could resign from his post in congress to end the investigation into him raping and trafficking teenage girls. The ethics committee was set to vote on whether to release their report on the investigation on him today. But they no longer have the jurisdiction to continue the investigation as Gaetz is no longer in congress.

Aside from MTG, he is probably the most reviled elected official in Washington. Republicans hate him, are celebrating his departure, and he will not be confirmed.

This was Trump doing Gaetz a favor for Gaetz's unrelenting loyalty. The confirmation hearing should be entertaining... he's got a lot of explaining to do.

Great start for the party of "law and order" and "we protect women."

Interesting take. Guess we'll see if he's the next AG soon or not.

Comments from another article

If you didn't want Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense, you shouldn't have created a DEI military.

If you didn't want Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General, you shouldn't have lied about Russia collusion.

If you don't want Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Intelligence, you shouldn't have written a fraudulent letter about Hunter's laptop.

If you didn't want Robert Kennedy to be Secretary of Health and Human Services, you shouldn't have covered up the origin of Covid.

The same people who falsely accused Trump of hiring hookers to pee on a bed, and Kavanaugh of gang r*pe are accusing Gaetz of sleeping with a 17 year old girl.

I have a pot of popcorn on the stove just heating up…my only question is water or pop to go with it lol

Retribution or justice, interesting way of looking at it.... just seems odd to me that cabinet selections would turn on that in the first place. I thought it was about finding the most qualified people...Sure, lots of popcorn, trump does make things interesting

It is the DOJ. You don’t think these guys are qualified

Matt Gaetz is the Mother of all Bombs (MOAB), and under the radar comes the insurance policy, Todd Blanche, as the A-10 Warthog strafing the scattering Lawfare members. Emil Bove flying the circling Specter above the battlefield. All three are excellent attorneys unlike Our current law fare attorney general

I don't know if they are qualified or not, nor do I actually give a shit. I'm saying the process doesn't seem focused on qualifications. Seems more about seeking justice or retribution for some earlier act

This is more than tit for tat. These people tried to frame Trump for espionage which has a penalty of death, they tried to assassinate him twice, they rigged an election. Where’s the 16 million people who voted for Joe in 2020. These are not simple things that can be swept under a rug and forgotten as much as you minimize the lawfare….

These people must be brought to justice in a court of law and punished, written up in the history books and never forgotten.

Expect what, for the last eight years hegseth has been a television personality. It would seem nice to have a secretary of defense that had some administrative experience but again, that's probably just me. I'm just getting old and unimaginative. If they reduce the defense department down to nothing then it probably doesn't matter anyway,

Honestly in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine being lumped together with pentagon generals as leftists needing to be purged, that really is funny to me. You want a television presenter in charge of the pentagon and dump the generals go for it, I was protesting against pentagon generals long before you guys, It's like actually putting Abbie Hoffman in charge or Putney Swope. It's certainly is interesting

who the fuck is abbie hoffman or swopes? Welcome to 2024.

DUde - you have two kinds of posts - your 'automatic contrarian' take, or your cut-and-paste of OTHER people's opinions. Well, actually, there's the third - your hilarious Trump outrage - for no particular reason. It's amusing for sure. "he needs administrative experience" while ignoring actual combat experience and a masters in policy - while embracing a 'general in eyeshadow' ideology. LMAO!

Abbie Hoffman, Chicago Seven, the 1968 Democratic convention, the Yippies. Yeah, it's 2024 but there's something to be said for historical perspective. I enjoy history, you maybe not so much. What I'm trying to get at is the left was Into radical change in the 60s, blowing things up. Trump is about blowing things up as well, more than legislative change. I just wonder if the people that supported Abbie Hoffman's approach to blowing things up now are the ones railing against trump's approach to blowing things up. The difference being trump has actually been put in position to do it. Trump and Hoffman were worlds apart but then maybe not do far apart on some basic level.

An offhanded search got me this, NYTs, can't open it. But it sounds like maybe there are others curious about that perspective

I think that sort of thing, comparing the two would really piss off the left

If you don't know if they're qualified, then you have no idea if it's focused on qualifications.

You're just shrieking.

The libs brought this on themselves. Wallow in it.

Look how retarded this is:
