맷 게이츠, 트럼프의 법무장관 지명자 자리에서 물러나다
Matt Gaetz just announced he is dropping out as President-elect Trump’s nominee for Attorney General.
이것은 여러분이 없었다면 불가능했을 큰 승리입니다. 함께, 우리는 82,777개의 서명을 모았습니다 게이츠의 지명에 반대하여 대중의 압력을 가하고 그의 극단적이고 반민주주의적 기록이 법무부에 있어서 용납될 수 없다는 점을 분명히 했습니다.
하지만 우리의 행동은 지금 멈출 수 없습니다. The House Ethics Committee is still sitting on the results of their investigation into Gaetz’s alleged offenses – including misuse of campaign funds, illicit drug use, and sexual misconduct – and 우리는 그들이 진실을 은폐하도록 둘 수 없습니다.
Even though Gaetz has dropped out, this fight is far from over. The allegations against Gaetz go to the heart of his fitness for 어떤 역할이든 in public service – and we deserve the truth.
Gaetz has a long track record of supporting insurrectionists, pushing anti-voter legislation, and embracing racist conspiracy theories. And that’s just what we already know.
In Matt Gaetz, President-elect Trump found an Attorney General nominee who was prepared to take his radical anti-voter agenda to another level.
With your help, we decisively rejected this extreme nomination. But for the sake of our country and our democracy, we must continue demanding transparency and high ethical standards for our public officials.
President-elect Trump will likely continue to push dangerous nominees who prioritize loyalty to him over the rule of law – using any means necessary, including recess appointments. We can’t let our guard down.
