In a video posted to YouTube, conservative attorney George Conway lit up Republican lawmakers who have been expressing surprise and dismay as Donald Trump has rolled out the names of nominees he would like to see in his cabinet, suggesting they have been living under a rock.
As part of his “George Conway Explains It All” podcast for the conservative Bulwark, the never-Trump attorney and former GOP strategist Sarah Longwell zeroed in on the nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to head up the Department of Justice as part of their examination of Trump’s “nightmare cabinet of clowns and criminals.”
Addressing how he discovered Trump had proposed the scandal-plagued Gaetz to be his attorney general, Conway pointed out he thought it was an internet joke on the level with one that claimed Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) would lead the Department of Education despite only having a GED.

After Conway joked both Gaetz and Boebert were qualified to be “specialists in sex education,” Longwell added, “I have been very annoyed at the ‘Oh, the Republicans who want to support Trump but want to remain respectable’ who are like ‘Well, this is a real unforced error by Trump, I’m like …yeah.”
“Where have you been!” Conway interrupted. “This is everything we were saying, this time he is not going to bother with the good people. He’s basically told us that and people are surprised? “
“I understand there are some heavyweight Republicans, like RNC members I’m told who are in Florida and they are horrified,” he continued. “It’s like excuse me. There is one I know actually and I heard he is horrified and it is like, dude I want to call him up and tell him this is what I’ve been telling you.”
