The Populist Progressive Case for Matt Gaetz The Florida Republican has championed consumer and privacy reforms, breaking up Silicon Valley monopolies, and opposes corporate money in politics. LEE FANG NOV 13 ∙ PAID READ IN APP This article was published in partnership with Unherd. Donald Trump announced today that he will elevate Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., as his next Attorney General, a post with sweeping powers over the Department of Justice. Gaetz may be known as a bombastic MAGA supporter in the eyes of the media. He livestreams, he podcasts, he trades barbs with political enemies with acidic bluster. But for those who have closely followed his legislative career, the Florida lawmaker represents a sharp break from the corporate-friendly orthodoxy of the modern Republican Party. Indeed, Gaetz’s elevation will provide sprawling prosecutorial powers for continuing his push against special interest influence and corporate malfeasance. His record speaks for itself. From his perch on the House Judiciary Committee, Gaetz has promoted a surprisingly consumer-friendly agenda, routinely breaking with his GOP colleagues on crucial votes. He previously supported legislative measures to break up Silicon Valley monopolies, sharply regulate the online data broker industry, ban noncompete employment contracts, and an end to the practice of forced arbitration, among other corporate accountability votes. He has also taken maverick positions on reducing FBI surveillance powers, cutting certain arms supplies to Saudi Arabia and legalizing marijuana. In addition, Gaetz has staked a position at times to the Left of some establishment Democrats. In the fight over the Ending Platform Monopolies Act — a bill designed to curb anticompetitive practices by Amazon and Google — Gaetz ended up supporting the legislation, while California Democrats close to the tech industry, such as Zoe Lofgren and Eric Swalwell, voted against it. In an era of severe political polarization, the Florida representative has found opportunities to support actions of the Biden administration. In August, Gaetz wrote a letter to Alphabet chief executive Sundar Pichai, urging him to "adhere fully" to the antitrust ruling against the company secured by the current Department of Justice. He has called on Trump to continue a corporate law enforcement pattern started by the Biden administration. “I would hope that whoever is the next FTC chair would continue many of the cases that Chair Khan has brought against predatory businesses,” Gaetz told the Wall Street Journal. Gaetz’s dealing with the populist Left do not end there. Not only did he pushfor a crackdown on the influence industry in Washington, he teamed up with Leftist firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on a demand to end congressional stock trading over concerns that lawmakers have enriched themselves using insider knowledge. “AOC is wrong a lot,” Gaetz said, explaining the bipartisan push. “But she’s not corrupt. And I will work with anyone and everyone to ensure that Congress is not so compromised.” Little surprise, then, that Gaetz was the first Republican to refuse corporate and lobbyist PAC money, joining a 2020 pledge on campaign finance typically championed by those associated with the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic Party. It is possible that Trump’s choice of Gaetz rests largely on his loyalty and his criticism of the handling of the January 6 investigation. He has been an outspoken critic of government overreach in prosecuting nonviolent participants in the riots. In his new role as attorney general, the Department of Justice will face a variety of challenges over the next year, including questions over how to pursue corporate mergers, government waste, and a variety of fraud cases pending before the courts. If his recent actions are any indication, Gaetz may be the perfect man for the job to solidify the drift away from the GOP’s corporatism. "As the Republican Party becomes more working class, we’re less captive to the neolibertarian view that everything big business does to people is OK," Gaetz told reporters earlier this year. That means, he added, the party "can't be whores for big business and be the voice of the working class at the same time." Reform may be on the horizon. The Gaetz nomination represents the second most significant personnel choice towards a more consumer-centric GOP.

回复 1楼 oppody 的帖子 BREAKING: Republican Senator John Cornyn just announced that he would like the House Ethics Committee to release the findings of the Matt Gaetz investigation. It sure looks like Republicans are going to sink one of Trump’s first nominees.

为什么过不了，这女的不管怎么样智商没问题。
如果Lara Trump 上参议员，是不是马克鲁比奥可能被阴掉了？
Thom Tillis就是个正经人了。2020年川普要到北卡来开共和党大会，他和Roy Cooper联手拦住了；2022年川普nominate那个活宝Cawthorn，也是他先看不下去要求党内调查；今年Mark Robinson他也是公开表示不支持的。 我觉得除非他不再参选，不然我还是会投他。

嗯，留点面子吧，确切地说可能他没有机会投反对票了，共和党在搞recess，不战而降。
要是没有美国国籍，备好瓜子吃瓜看热闹不嫌事大，witness一个超级大国的堕落，也算不错。
不过实在不行换国籍也是没有办法，美国不要华人，华人也没必要爱美国

武大郎开店，你觉得他会选帅哥吗？
床粉的role model
被认为是极右翼的盖茨曾担任佛罗里达州第一国会选区的美国众议员，被特朗普提名后已经辞职。
他在共和党内争议极大（民主党内对他的看法似乎并没有争议，很统一）。
盖茨反对堕胎。2022 年 7 月 23 日，他在佛罗里达州坦帕举行的学生行动峰会上发表演讲，称超重或长相丑陋的女性不太可能怀孕，并嘲笑她们支持堕胎权。
2008 年，盖茨在从佛罗里达州奥卡鲁萨岛的一家夜总会开车回家时，因酒后驾车被捕。警方记录到他超速行驶，并指出他有醉酒的迹象。
前白宫助理卡西迪·哈钦森在回忆录中写道，盖茨多次骚扰她。她写道，在 2020 年前往戴维营期间，他打断了她与凯文·麦卡锡的会面，多次要求她“护送”他到他的房间。
2020-2023年他成为联邦性交易调查对象，涉嫌与一名17岁未成年人发生性关系并支付费用（一个他的熟人从性交易网站上找到年轻女孩介绍给他），可能违反联邦性交易法，付费让女性跨州旅行从事性交易，涉嫌挪用竞选资金支付与年轻女性约会的费用，2018年巴哈马之行中，可能涉嫌性交易和政治交易。
但是2023年2月，司法部最终决定不起诉，理由是关键证人可信度存疑。
2023-2024年共和党主导的众议院道德委员会启动对他的调查，调查范围包括性行为不端、非法使用毒品等指控，调查持续到2024年11月。在特朗普提名后，盖茨辞职，众议院调查委员会失去管辖权限。
有趣的是，马特·盖茨多次投票反对打击人口贩运和在线性交易的法案，但是都没有能阻止成功。
2017年12月19日，他是唯一投票反对《打击商用车辆中人口贩卖法案》的众议员。法案旨在分配更多政府资源以帮助打击人口贩卖。
2018年2月27日，盖茨再次投票反对《允许各州和受害者打击在线性贩卖法案》，法案已与《停止助长性贩卖者行为法案》合并。最终法案以388票对25票获得通过。
2022年7月26日，盖茨投票反对《弗雷德里克·道格拉斯人口贩卖受害者预防和保护法案的重新授权》，结果法案以401票对20票通过。
这个真的是人渣了

有没有可能是被别人诬陷的？
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
论无耻，川普及其党羽给川粉提鞋都不配
万斯还是最丑的，一张馒头脸也就算了，还布满了霉菌一样的胡茬，吐了
难道真的是大帝派来的？！

是的，如果这种人是我上司，真的要辞职。也不是多清高，而是我所做的估计他都觉得是错的，何必天天生气。
嗯，特别符合对川粉的被害妄想症的印象。 文学CITY 看到的 “对他各种陷害都无证据，说明他们很怕他”
