(📢) NEW at PROOF: You’re Not the Only Person Who Thinks the Matt Gaetz-for-AG Nomination Is Fishy As Hell
Republicans and Democrats are flabbergasted by the Gaetz nomination. They should be; it’s not what it seems. Trump was enmeshed in the very ethics probe this nomination was intended to scuttle.
