Letters to the Editor: What do Senate Republicans have to say about Matt Gaetz and RFK Jr. in the Trump Cabinet?

LA Times  

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., seen at a campaign rally on Oct. 27, was picked by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Health and Human Services Department. To the editor: For those who voted against their own self-interest this election, thinking that a second Donald Trump presidency would not be as bad as his first, I’ll admit that you were right. To the editor: There is much trepidation over our country’s future with a Trump presidency and a Republican Congress. However, it is possible that fears may be unfounded and the expected changes could provide a positive result for the American people and serve the country’s best interests on the international stage.
