Conservative Radio Host Dana Loesch Claims Trump’s Nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz Was a Game of “4D Chess”

Conservative radio host Dana Loesch suggested that former Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz’s nomination for attorney general by President-elect Donald Trump was a strategic move to get him “out of the way.” Gaetz announced his withdrawal from consideration for the position, stating his commitment to supporting Trump. Loesch speculated that Trump nominated Gaetz knowing he wouldn’t be confirmed due to his strained relationships with other lawmakers. Gaetz’s resignation from the House followed his announcement, sparking discussions about his future in politics. Despite concerns over his open seat, Loesch believes another Republican will fill it due to the district being solidly red. The media scrutiny on Gaetz has intensified, with allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use being investigated by the House Ethics Committee. The report on these allegations was not released due to a lack of majority vote among House lawmakers. Loesch’s analysis of the situation suggests that Trump’s nomination of Gaetz was a strategic move to remove him from the spotlight.
