Washington, D.C.: This week, the D.C. Establishment has recoiled at almost every announcement of President-elect Trump’s cabinet nominations. The latest name offered, Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-1) as Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, has elicited the most radical response from the swamp so far.
“Matt Gaetz is a qualified attorney and independent voice who will bring meaningful change to the Department of Justice,” said Ed Martin, president of Phyllis Schlafly Eagles. “He has never played the swamp game during his time in Washington, and the D.C. establishment hates him for it. Corrupt elites in the ‘permanent state’ know that Matt Gaetz as Attorney General spells the end of their reign of terror against citizens and leaders who oppose their power. I cannot think of a better endorsement for him.”
Martin continued, “President Trump is assembling an outsider cabinet that will bring serious change to our federal seat of power for the first time in decades. Matt Gaetz as Attorney General is a necessary part of the mandate We the People gave President Trump to bring change to Washington. The Senate, especially Republicans, should not stand in the way of Gaetz’s confirmation.”
John Schlafly added, “My mother, Phyllis Schlafly, supported Matt Gaetz in his first run for Congress and each of his re-elections thereafter. He is a highly intelligent attorney, and has long been a voice for constitutional values. Gaetz is one of the most independent thinkers and doers in Congress, and that’s the kind of leader President Trump needs in his next cabinet. America needs drastic change at the Department of Justice if we are going to restore faith in the American justice system. The Senate must support Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump’s choice for Attorney General.”
