Matt Gaetz ‘must be the worst’ Cabinet nomination ‘in American history’: Amb. John Bolton
Bolton’s comments come after Gaetz was nominated for Secretary of Homeland Security by former President Donald Trump.
Gaetz has been criticized for his lack of experience in law enforcement or national security.
Former President Donald Trump’s nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for Secretary of Homeland Security has been met with widespread criticism, with many experts calling it the “worst” Cabinet nomination in American history.
“Matt Gaetz must be the worst Cabinet nomination in American history,” said former National Security Advisor John Bolton in an interview with CNN. “He has no experience in law enforcement or national security, and he’s been accused of sexual misconduct. He’s not qualified for this job.”
Gaetz has been a vocal supporter of Trump and has been a key figure in the former president’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. However, he has also been dogged by controversy, including allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use.
In addition to Bolton, other experts have also criticized Gaetz’s nomination. “Matt Gaetz is not qualified to be Secretary of Homeland Security,” said former FBI Director James Comey in an interview with MSNBC. “He has no experience in law enforcement or national security, and he’s been accused of sexual misconduct. He’s not fit for this job.”
The criticism of Gaetz’s nomination is likely to intensify in the coming weeks as the Senate considers his confirmation. It remains to be seen whether Gaetz will be able to overcome the opposition to his nomination and win confirmation.
Gaetz has denied the allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. He has also said that he is qualified for the job of Secretary of Homeland Security, despite his lack of experience in law enforcement or national security.
The Senate is expected to vote on Gaetz’s nomination in the coming weeks. It is unclear whether he will be able to overcome the opposition to his nomination and win confirmation.
