Of all the people in the universe, Donald Trump has settled on Florida Representative Matt Gaetz to lead the Justice Department.
@persagen This is what America voted for.
His partner went to prison for sex trafficking and the only reason Gaetz wasn't with him was Republicans in charge of the house.
This is what mother f*ckers who voted for Trump are already doing to America and they aren't even in office yet
And decent America doesn't even have the guts to stop this shit!
How pathetic and weak.
