Via press release from hate group leader Mat Staver:
Matt Gaetz is neither morally nor professionally qualified to become the United States Attorney General. This is the highest law enforcement position in the country.
America deserves much better. Gaetz has three years or less experience in the practice of law, hardly enough to serve as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer.
Morally, Gaetz has been under a cloud of sex and drug allegations. On Wednesday, as soon as he was tapped by President-elect Donald Trump, Gaetz immediately resigned from Congress, thus ending the Ethics probe into his sex parties that includes allegations of paying an underage girl for sex.
Numerous news articles have catalogued the serious allegations involving Gaetz, including using Venmo to pay women for sex, text messages, attending sex parties, and paying a minor for sex. Witnesses have testified that they have seen Gaetz at these sex parties taking drugs.
During a speech Gaetz delivered to a group of conservative leaders, mostly Christian, on three occasions he dropped “jokes” laced with sexual innuendo.
The jokes were shocking to those in attendance and were met with silence. He later admitted his sexual jokes fell flat. This is not the character of the nation’s highest law enforcement officer who is entrusted to uphold the rule of law and prosecute sex traffickers and sex crimes.
When Gaetz served in the Florida House he was a regular opponent of pro-family leaders and policies. He formed an alliance with LGBTQ activists and spearheaded the removal of Florida’s law prohibiting same sex adoptions, which left faith-based adoption agencies exposed to legal challenges.
President-elect Donald Trump has quickly named many good choices to serve in his cabinet. But Matt Gaetz is not one of them.
The nomination of Matt Gaetz as Attorney General is shocking and disappointing to those who have followed this man and the lurid scandals and serious allegations of sex parties and drugs during his tenure in the U.S. Congress.
Read the full press release. Rather obviously, Staver’s real issue with Gaetz is that decade-old “alliance” with the gays. Since then, of course, Gaetz has appeared with many viciously anti-LGBTQ activists and hate groups.
Christian nationalist organization Liberty Counsel says “Matt Gaetz is neither morally nor professionally qualified to become the United States Attorney General. This is the highest law enforcement position in the country. America deserves much better.” https://t.co/hy7BxS4Xke pic.twitter.com/ERpkLJPw3M
