Geraldo Rivera Critiques Matt Gaetz's AG Nomination

Geraldo Rivera expressed his disgust over President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general, stating he felt physically ill upon hearing the news. Rivera labeled Gaetz as 'creepy' and 'the epitome of everything that is rotten in Washington,' highlighting his past ethics investigations and suggesting he would not be confirmed by the Senate. Despite Gaetz's resignation from Congress, which concluded an ethics probe into allegations of misconduct, legal experts have criticized his qualifications for the role, citing limited legal experience and ethical concerns. Trump praised Gaetz as a 'deeply gifted and tenacious attorney,' while Rivera and others have voiced doubts about his ability to lead the DOJ effectively. Rivera's vehement opposition reflects broader unease among Republicans about Gaetz's nomination, indicating a potential challenge in confirmation hearings. Overall, the nomination has sparked significant controversy and debate over Gaetz's suitability and the implications for the Justice Department.
