Conservative radio host Dana Roush said Thursday that President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of former Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz is like a “4D chess” game to get him “out of the way.” He claimed that.
Gaetz announced Thursday afternoon that he was withdrawing his name from the Trump administration's nomination for attorney general, saying in a post on X that he supports the former president and remains committed to helping him become “the most successful president in history.” Ta. On “The Dana Show,” the conservative talk show host said that if she were in charge, nominating Gates for attorney general would have been the best way to “clean” house. President Trump claimed he knew his presidential bid would not be certified. History and strained relationships with other councilors.
“The best way to get Gates out of the way is, as I said last week, what I would do if I got into this situation and needed to clear the house, the House so to speak, is to nominate him.” You chose him for a position you knew he couldn't fill because you knew he wouldn't be approved…Whether you like him or not, it's not just because of his poor relationship with other elected officials. He didn't get along well with the congressman. Everyone said, “Roesh.”
“[Trump] He knows he won't win a seat or be confirmed, nominates him anyway, and leaves it to the people to do their thing in the process. Please take care of it, okay? Leave it to them. You can retreat then. [and say]”Look, I'm loyal to the guy. I picked him for that seat. It's hard. It's hard that it didn't work out,” Loesch added. “Great move. It's literally exactly what I'm going to do. If I were in a position where I had to remove someone who was causing me problems, I would do that if I didn't take a stand against it.”
On the same day that President Trump announced Gaetz's appointment, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters that the former Florida lawmaker was resigning from his position in the House “effective immediately.” Roesch went on to say that while he has concerns about Gaetz's vacant seat, he believes the district is “all red” and could attract another Republican, adding that he doesn't believe the former lawmaker will advance to the Senate.

I don't think he'll be appointed to the Senate seat before confirmation is more certain.” You can't narrow the majority by resigning, you know what I'm saying? No one else has been appointed and nothing has resigned yet,” Roesch said. . “There's no need to show off something like that. There's no need to make it right away. That's why I thought it was funny.”
“Also, I am with Gates. [Republican Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis has become good friends. So if you attack someone in public, you can't turn around and ask for a favor. That won't work. Because remember, especially in Gates' world, loyalty is what matters, right? ” asked Roche. “I'm just laying it out here. I'm not asking you to take a position on what's in the ethics report. I'm just telling you what I saw. But , I think this is actual 4D chess on behalf of the president, not the deep state.”
