“With his recent appointment announcements, President Trump has demonstrated how committed he is to shaking things up in D.C. Many on all sides of the political spectrum were surprised when President Trump announced that Rep. Matt Gaetz was his choice for Attorney General. This is the guy who led the opposition to Speaker McCarthy. Remember that the House Armed Services Committee Chairman had to be restrained to prevent fisticuffs on the House Floor. K Street was apoplectic. Sages warned that this would destroy Republican chances to hold the majority. A cardinal rule in Washington etiquette requires members to respect even hyper-partisan adversaries. You say: ‘The gentleman from Illinois misspoke’. Never: ‘The jerk from Illinois just told a bald-faced lie.’ Taking on and toppling a Speaker of your own party is … unthinkable. But Matt Gaetz is a different breed of cat.” (11/18/24)
