4:14Now PlayingDonald Trump thinks the world of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and he has repeatedly hinted at putting her in his cabinet if he ever becomes President again. Recent reports suggest that he's actually considering her for a top spot at the Department of Justice, possibly even nominating her for Attorney General. While that likely won't make it through the Senate, it is a terrifying possibility that we need to address. Farron Cousins discusses this.

According to new reports out this week, Donald Trump desperately wants Marjorie Taylor Green to serve in his cabinet. If of course he runs for president and wins again in 2024, according to reports, including one from Rolling Stone, Trump is repeatedly asking people in his orbit quote, Wouldn't she be great? Talking about Marjorie Taylor Green? Um, one source who spoke to Rolling Stone says he loves Marjorie Taylor Green and would want her very close in a second term. That much is clear, and one of the landing spots for Marjorie Taylor Green in a Trump cabinet is apparently as a top official at the United States Department of Justice. Now, they didn't specifically say what office, but is Trump considering appointing her to what be Attorney General of the United States? An individual that has no expertise whatsoever in the law, didn't go to law school, doesn't have a law degree, doesn't even know what a bar exam is, and that could be the person that he might nominate as Attorney General or hell just anything in the United States Department of Justice.
She's not fit to deliver mail at the United States Department of Justice. No offense to the couriers in that building. She's not fit to empty the trash cans. She's not fit to walk near the building. Hell, she's not even fit for the job she currently has. But Trump wants to elevate her because she has been so loyal, because she's been an outspoken critic of anyone who trashes Donald Trump or who even looks at him sideways. She will go out there and attack you like a fricking wild bore. And that's why Trump loves her so much because she has shown unfettered loyalty to Donald. Now, of course, we all know Marjorie Taylor Green would never become Attorney General of the United States because you'd have to get confirmed by the Senate. So that's not gonna happen. We can, we can rest a little bit easier knowing that. However, she could be appointed as an acting attorney general for a brief period, which is what Donald Trump, by the way, did a lot during his administration in order to circumvent Senate from having to confirm his people.
He would just put them as the acting, you know, blank, whatever the title was, whatever the department was. Eventually, you know, you can't stay acting forever. You either have to go through the confirmation process or Trump has to appoint somebody else that would then go through the confirmation process. But even the thought of her serving in that position for a week, for a day, for an hour is absolutely terrifying. But more importantly, what this story shows is that Donald Trump, if he gets back in office, is going to stack his cabinet with people even more incompetent and
Stupid than the people he had there last time, right? Instead of a corrupt Betsy DeVos at the Department of Education, we could end up with somebody actually worse. No, Elaine Chow as the transportation secretary. It's gonna be somebody worse. No. Ben Carson at Housing and Urban Development know Andrew Wheeler at the epa, right? The former coal lobbyist running environmental policy. It's gonna be much, much worse because as I've repeatedly said, Donald Trump has learned the lessons of his first administration, and he knows to only surround himself with people that will tell him yes, no matter how crazy his suggestions may be. That is why he is so dangerous, and that is why we gotta make sure he never gets anywhere near the White House ever again.
