Pointing to former congressman Tulsi Gabbard and outgoing congressman Matt Gaetz, the New York Post editorial board implored the president-elect to “rethink” his choices in an op-ed published on Tuesday. The New York Post – a conservative newspaper part of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire News Corp that Trump frequently cites – claims Gabbard’s history indicates she cannot execute Trump’s ability to “balance” the threats of the world while avoiding inserting the United States into global issues. Both the Gabbard and Gaetz picks have bene blasted by the New York Post Gaetz has “neither the ethics nor the discipline” to reshape the Justice Department the way Trump wants to, the New York Post editorial board said. He’s the right man for the job and will end the weaponization of our justice system.” Even the New York Post believes Gaetz and Gabbard are “mediocre nominees” that Trump made “out of stubbornness, not necessity.”
