Donald Trump just sent shock waves through Washington by nominating former Congressman Matt Gaetz to serve as Attorney General. Gaetz, who is wildly unqualified for this role, was recently the subject of a Department of Justice investigation—the very agency he’s now being tapped to lead. Gaetz’s history of inflammatory statements, unethical conduct, and disregard for the rule of law make him an alarming choice to oversee our nation’s justice system. Gaetz’s record speaks for itself. In recent years, he has faced a DOJ probe over allegations involving sex trafficking, misuse of funds, and other unethical behavior. The investigation raises serious questions about his fitness for public service and his commitment to the principles of justice and accountability. Known for his extreme rhetoric, Gaetz has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of respect for democratic institutions. He has downplayed the events of January 6, suggested that violence might be justified to defend conservative values, and even called for abolishing the FBI. Even some Republican senators are reportedly shocked by Trump’s decision, signaling how divisive and dangerous this appointment is. We call on the Senate to block Matt Gaetz’s nomination as Attorney General. Our country needs a leader at the Department of Justice who values integrity, impartiality, and accountability—not a partisan figure with a history of unethical conduct. This nomination endangers the independence of the DOJ and threatens the rule of law in America. We cannot allow someone with Gaetz’s record and rhetoric to take charge of our nation’s justice system. Sign this petition to demand that our Senators stand up for justice and reject Matt Gaetz’s nomination.
