Gaetz's attorney general nomination met with shock from lawmakers

Salon  

Donald Trump's nomination of fellow Florida Republican Matt Gaetz for attorney general has caused shock among several of Gaetz's fellow lawmakers. “You could literally hear the jaws dropping to the floor of Republican senators who are now going to be in a position to stand up to Donald Trump in a way that they have been unwilling to," Murphy told Jake Tapper. " Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, told reporter Max Cohen she was "shocked at the nomination.” Sen. Joe Manchin, I-W.Va, said that “no one could believe" the news. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said that Gaetz faces an uphill battle, telling reporter Burgess Everett that they're "not going to get a single Democrat" to vote for his confirmation.
