What Republicans are saying about Trump's pick of Matt Gaetz for attorney general

'I was told growing up that if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all,' says Rep. Don Bacon, Nebraska

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz’s nomination to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general has created a remarkable amount of pushback from Republicans otherwise inclined to follow Trump’s wishes.

Gaetz is unpopular with many fellow House Republicans for his push to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy and a long trail of stories about his personal conduct, including a federal investigation into allegations that he arranged to have sex with a minor. The investigation was closed without charges and Gaetz denies wrongdoing.
