Gaetz Criticized Amid Attorney General Nomination

Conservative journalist Ben Domenech has launched a fierce attack on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, whom President-elect Donald Trump has nominated as attorney general. In his Substack newsletter, Domenech labeled Gaetz a 'vile sex pest' and 'sex trafficking drug addicted piece of s—', accusing him of preying on underage girls and boasting about his sexual exploits in Congress. He described Gaetz as morally bankrupt and compared him to a 'fentanyl-addicted hobo'. Domenech emphasized that the majority of Republicans wish to keep Gaetz away from their loved ones, underscoring the widespread disdain for him within the party. The allegations against Gaetz include involvement in sex trafficking and drug-fueled parties, which have been scrutinized by lawmakers, although he was not charged following an investigation. The controversy surrounding Gaetz's nomination raises significant concerns about his suitability to lead the Department of Justice, which previously investigated him.
