Tuesday, during an appearance on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville pledged that the U.S. Senate would consider facts over rumors when vetting President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks, including Matt Gaetz, Trump’s attorney general appointee, and Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense appointee.
The Alabama Republican referenced charges that Supreme Court appointees Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas faced at the time of their confirmation hearings. “Senator Tuberville, I’m worried about Matt Gaetz,” host Larry Kudlow said. “And I’m worried about Pete Hegseth. And I’m worried — I know there’ll be opposition. I get that. But I’m worried particularly about Gaetz. You’ve got the word of a convicted felon serving out an 11-year prison term, right? And his two prostitute lady friends, OK? They seem to be the principal attackers for Matt Gaetz. Now, I don’t know everything there is to know about this.
