Summary
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) warned Republicans against opposing Donald Trump’s nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as attorney general, stating that MAGA supporters would target their jobs if they break ranks.
Tuberville defended Trump’s right to choose his team, urging senators to “vote with President Trump.”
Gaetz, who recently resigned from Congress, is a divisive figure within the GOP, having faced FBI and House Ethics investigations over alleged misconduct.
Some Republicans are openly concerned about the nomination and are deliberating their next steps.
Not for nothing but I don’t think there’s anyone in the world who’s scared of Tommy tuberville. His political Acumen is that of a 5-year-old.
But isn’t he the one that purposefully held up military officer promotions as some grand protest against some qanon bullshit?
Remember… They’re a club. And they protect the other members of their club.
I predict political violence.
Please let it be republican-on-republican.
As long as it never gets resolved into a band of united Loser-supporters.
