The nomination of Matt Gaetz as Attorney General is deeply concerning and unacceptable. Gaetz's controversial history, including facing a federal investigation over alleged sex crimes, raises serious doubts about his ability to lead the Department of Justice with integrity and impartiality. The Attorney General must uphold the rule of law without prejudice or political agenda. Gaetz's bombastic rhetoric and willingness to put loyalty to Trump above ethical standards is disqualifying. His nomination represents a alarming defiance of democratic norms and principles. The Department of Justice requires a steadfast commitment to justice and independence from political interference to function properly. I urge reconsideration of this egregious nomination before further damage is done to our nation's justice system.
