And of course, the freakout begins:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Safe to say that GOP senators are stunned – not in a good way – on Matt Gaetz for Attorney General<\/p>\n

Democratic Sen. Chris Coons on Trump choosing Gaetz for AG : \u201cYou can record me as speechless.\u201d<\/p>\n

JUST IN: Senator Chuck Grassley, upon hearing the news Matt Gaetz would be Trump’s Attorney General, was “exasperated” in reaction and just stood there “stonefaced for 30 seconds” – @bresreports<\/a><\/p>\n

LMAO.<\/p>\n

News: Susan Collins tells me she is not on board with Gaetz as AG.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was shocked at the nomination\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why the Senate’s advise and consent process is so important. I’m sure that there will be many, many questions raised at Mr Gaetz\u2019s hearing\u201d<\/p>\n

Of all Trump’s nominees, DC seems to be going the most insane over Gaetz…<\/strong><\/p>\n
