MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Wiseman said Wednesday on “Deadline” that President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) as attorney general is a sign that the United States is “pure He said that this marks his entry into “George Orwell's Land of 1984.”
“On Monday he announced he was taking a day off,” host Nicole Wallace said. “The biggest war in Washington is between Matt Gaetz with Kevin McCarthy and this trio of Fox News anchors, Tulsi Gabbard. , which was clearly the purpose of this adjournment appointment.”
Wiseman said, “Well, I had two reactions to this announcement. One is very similar to yours, which is that someone who is clearly unfettered by facts and laws is the next president. As for the facts, we know that he has repeatedly said that the election was rigged – he won the election. And we know that's not true. And he lost all the lawsuits. But one of them was about technical issues. In other words, he supports a world where facts and laws don't matter. ”
He added, “So we shouldn't be surprised that he's been chosen to nominate the attorney general or someone at the Department of National Intelligence, who hasn't yet been approved. Not only are they unqualified, but they're also tied up.” “This shows that they are not,” he added. In fact, and perhaps even in law. Therefore, it's not surprising. And the other thing is the idea that Matt Gaetz is somehow going to be the person to stop and stop weaponization, when it's a trade show for weaponization. So we're in a 1984 George Orwell-like pure land where black is white and we're supposed to believe it. ”
