'The worse, the better': Liberal NYT columnist makes the case for AG Matt Gaetz
Raw StoryWhile even some Republicans have flinched at the thought of confirming scandal-plagued former Rep. Matt Gaetz to be America's top law enforcement official, liberal New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg is embracing Gaetz's nomination. In her latest column, Goldberg makes reference to an alleged quote from communist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin that states, "The worse, the better" in justifying her enthusiasm for putting Gaetz in the spotlight. Goldberg says that the process of trying to ram Gaetz through the United States Senate will be particularly humiliating for many of President-elect Donald Trump's fellow Republicans who almost uniformly loathe the Florida Republican.
