U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., described President-elect Trump's choice of Rep. Matt Gaetz to serve as his next attorney general as a "God tier kind of trolling."
Speaking with reporters, Fetterman acknowledged some of Trump's picks were good but stopped short of putting Gaetz in that category.
"It's just kind of like a God tier kind of trolling just to trigger a meltdown," he said. "But, really, the Dems' opinions on Gaetz, that's not really what's interesting. The good ones are going to come by my colleagues on the other side, the GOP, on how they can justify voting for that j--- off."
