While it would have been an interesting way to get Mike Lee out of an office he swore he wouldn’t run for for a third time, I’m glad that Lee was not the nominee for the U.S. attorney general — what an insult that would have been for our nation.
But unsurprisingly, the president-elect, convicted felon Donald Trump, found someone even worse in his long list of unqualified stooges for vital national posts: Matt Gaetz, who has been under investigation for his proclivity to frolic with underagers, drug use, and improperly accepting “gifts” — an even bigger insult.
I believe this presents a great test for Sen. Lee’s integrity: will he oppose this nomination for the good of our nation, or will he continue to support the conman who has obviously played Lee for a fool.
