No. He helped to shield the reputation of an accused rapist, pedophile, and sex trafficker.

By nominating Gaetz, Trump gave him an excuse to resign that has nothing to do with the ethics probe against him. After he resigned, the Republican led ethics committee was allowed to withhold the release of the ethics report. Once that was done, Gaetz withdrew from the nomination ensuring that the report also does not come up during confirmation hearings. Thus all of his dark secrets remain hidden in the shadows allowing him to reoffend and / or seek other positions of influence.

I thought that at first too but now I am starting to think that some of these nominations were a ruse. Nominate the ‘worst ones of my supporters’ that have zero chance and if they get in, they get in, favors re-paid.

If they don’t then he gets to find out who cried the loudest against him to keep them out (aka who wasn’t ‘loyal’) in the process and he will work to get those people kicked out.

He will always find jobs for the Gaetz’s or whoever - maybe not top cabinet picks but there will be some ass kissing job somewhere.

But I might be wrong as well. Gaetz was all around hated by everyone and completely incompetent but then again so are a few of his other choices. I guess time will tell.

Gaetz’s absolute stupidity cleaned it out, that and being a pedophile. What a piece of shit.

Gaetz cleaned his own swamp
