Matt Gaetz announced he would be withdrawing from consideration to serve as attorney general under President-elect Trump. NBC News’ Vaughn Hillyard has details on the criticism Gaetz faced and his decision to withdraw.

We all know Trump is going to try and break our democracy. He campaigned on many of this plans and schemes for his second term. While we failed in keeping him from the White House we can’t let him just run roughshod over our laws, norms, and traditions that have made and kept us as the only true super power in the world. The fervor and fury over this disgusting nomination has shown us we need to do in order to protect our country, our constitution, and our creed of truth, justice, and the American way.
