Gaetz withdraws.

WaPo reports.

Former congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) announced in a social media post Thursday that he was withdrawing his bid to be attorney general for President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration, saying his confirmation was “unfairly becoming a distraction.” “There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle,” Gaetz said after meeting with senators on Wednesday. Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for defense secretary, is meeting with senators on Capitol Hill on Thursday after police records revealed new details about a sexual assault allegation against him. Vice President-elect JD Vance is accompanying Hegseth.

Yet I have not seen one complaint from you about Trump, who has been unable to "keep it in his pants" for any of his three wives.

You’re right, Megethread, but he just announced he won’t be serving again, so there will be a special election.

He was also paying the boys, to make it worse.

I await Pedo Pete's slurred comparing of those allegations to the suppressed diary of his daughter. As they say, weird. Turn the page.

FFS, Peccadillos aside, Gaetz communicates better than most.

" Not my first choice, but I’m fine with her"
First choice?
