FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY RESPONDS TO TRUMP’S EXTREME “FLORIDA MAN” CABINET
Today, Donald Trump announced his plan to nominate Matt Gaetz to serve as U.S. Attorney General. It’s the latest proposal to appoint Republicans from Florida to Trump’s administration with Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz and Susie Wiles expected to join the Trump White House in 2025. In response, the Florida Democratic Party released the following statement:
“This is what it looks like to Make America Florida — and it’s a living nightmare,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. “Donald Trump is raiding our state for any Florida Man loyal to him, no matter how incompetent, unqualified, or extreme they may be. Tapping Marco Rubio as Secretary of State and Mike Waltz as National Security Advisor is a serious cause for concern, but nominating Matt Gaetz as Attorney General is beyond catastrophic for the country.
“Matt Gaetz is a chaos agent who cares about nothing but his own personal power. He’s spent his eight years in Congress trying to burn our institutions to the ground — bringing us to the brink of multiple government shutdowns and constitutional crises along the way. As one of Trump’s most loyal lieutenants, he can’t be trusted to fairly and impartially run the Department of Justice, and I’m hopeful that the few remaining Senate Republicans who believe in our democracy will have the integrity to block this nomination.”
