Okay, this is funny and we’re glad Gertz has a sense of humor about it. Donald Trump has nominated Matt Gaetz for Attorney General and it’s pretty darned controversial on the Left and the Right.
But whatever happens, no one is going to have a more interesting time than Matt Gertz, Senior Fellow at Media Matters (yeah, we know).
Watching Gertz realize what he’s in for was, in a word, hilarious:
Well. That’s not good.

No, it’s not. But it is funny.
DO NOT CONGRATULATE!

But think of all the accidental engagement you’re gonna get, Matt. Those payouts will be huge!
This is so bad for the country, and also my menchies.
— Matthew Gertz (@MattGertz) November 13, 2024
Mostly your menchies, though.
Those are gonna be lit.
This is going well. pic.twitter.com/nZfxefIKIc

OMG – even his Mom got involved.
We’re dying laughing.
Not missing an opportunity to pay off campaign debt, Kamala Harris’ team sent out a fundraising email after the Gaetz nomination:

And Gertz goes into full out panic mode:
Please don’t be that one please don’t be that one
— Matthew Gertz (@MattGertz) November 14, 2024
At least he’s got a sense of humor about it.
X users, of course, also rose to the occassion:
My thoughts and prayers are with you

He’s gonna need them.
It Gaetz better.

So humble. It will suit him well in his new role.
