Greene and MAGA Congress members are strong-arming their own on Trump’s Cabinet picks

NBC's Chuck Todd and New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters discuss how President-elect Trump is using his political capital to force through controversial Cabinet picks while claiming he was handed a 'powerful' mandate in the election.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has threatened to air Republicans’ dirty laundry if they support releasing a House Ethics Committee report into Matt Gaetz’s alleged sexual misconduct and other accusations. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida suggested the House should investigate the investment portfolios of Republicans who don’t support Gaetz as President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala.

Trump loyalists are behaving like MAGA mafiosi in their attempts to push his problematic Cabinet picks, arguing essentially that instead of “advice and consent,” Trump gave GOP senators an offer they can’t refuse.
