What's His Name is not backing down over his scandal-plagued pick for Attorney General; Gaetz quickly resigned from Congress, but only to put an end to an investigation over alleged sex trafficking, including with a high school girl. Noticeably, QAnon pedo-hunters are quiet about the statutory rape of a 17-year-old.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) revealed this week that Republican senators had developed a plan to confirm President-elect Donald Trump's nominations, including former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as attorney general, before the new president is sworn in.
During a Wednesday interview on Real America's Voice, Tuberville vowed to overcome the objections of Democrats despite sexual misconduct allegations against Gaetz and Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth.
"We're in charge, and if we back up, it's like this Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth, all these people that are being nominated," Tuberville said.

Pirro interrupted with her usual bombast but was more hateful and bigoted than usual.
PIRRO: Didn't you learn anything from the election?
Didn't you learn that the American people don't want this, that the majority of people don't want to be kowtowing to a .01% of people who want to enter into my bathroom?
I don't want a guy who's dressed as a woman, who thinks she's a woman, whether he has his thing or not.
I don't want him in my bathroom.

Earlier Wednesday on Fox Business program Mornings with Maria, the host asked why Target had missed its revenue estimates and without any evidence or data supporting this reason, they blamed the LGBTQ community for its recent downfall.
