Unless a candidate is a real stinker, presidents are given broad latitude by the Senate when it comes to Cabinet picks. The senators generally hold their noses and adhere to party loyalty. But Matt Gaetz was a skunk, repellant to conservative and progressive alike.
As Attorney General he was going to do to the Justice Department what he did to the legislative career of former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, cripple it. Now Matt’s off to join George Santos in Cameo.
Pam Bondi is not perfect, there are some misgivings about her failure to prosecute the Trump University debacle, but she is a far more qualified candidate than Gaetz. I know that is a low bar, so here are her credentials. First and foremost, she is a real lawyer, a former county prosecutor, and Florida Attorney General, the first woman ever to hold that position. She served competently from 2011 to 2019, having been reelected in 2014 with 55% of the vote.
A frequent guest on Hannity and on my Fox News weekend show Geraldo At Large, she commented knowledgeably on various Florida cases and beyond. A Fox favorite, she once co-hosted ‘The Five’ for several days. I did not appreciate her opposition to Obama Care, the Affordable Care Act, or her cheerleading “Lock Her Up” in the 2016 GOP Convention. Still, she is a capable, fair-minded professional, and she should be confirmed.
