"It is interesting when you find out what a bridge too far for Donald Trump looks like," the MSNBC host said.
MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace was taken aback by former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s withdrawal from the attorney general nomination process, saying she had anticipated he would be confirmed by the Senate.
“We were wrong,” Wallace said Thursday as she introduced her guest, former Republican National Committee spokesperson Tim Miller. “You and I said, ‘Matt Gaetz will be the attorney general. Trump wants to see how low he can go.’”
“Apparently, the answer to how low he can go is whatever is sort of above Matt Gaetz, and I don’t know, below, Pete Hegseth,” she added.
“It is interesting when you find out what a bridge too far for Donald Trump looks like. Apparently, it looks like Matt Gaetz.”
The Florida Republican on Thursday announced he was taking his name out of consideration for attorney general, saying “it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work” of President-elect Trump’s transition team.
