Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman reacted to President-elect Donald Trump’s AG pick Matt Gaetz on the hill on Wednesday; he’s calling it an incredible example of trolling.
“I mean, I would describe it as god-tier level trolling, that has triggered a full-on China syndrome to own the libs in perpetuity,” Fetterman told an NBC reporter in a clip that has now gone viral on X.

Elon Musk shared Fetterman’s response on X, simply saying “Amazing.”
From The New York Post:
Fetterman then went on to say that Democrats’ opinions on Gatez’s nomination is “not really what’s interesting.”
“The good ones are going to come by my colleagues on the other side, the GOP, on how they can justify voting for that j— off,” he added, according to Fox News.
Trump’s choice of Gaetz, 42, for the AG spot shocked members of both parties.
“I was shocked at the nomination,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told Punchbowl News. “This is why the Senate’s advise-and-consent process is so important. I’m sure that there will be many, many questions raised at Mr. Gaetz’s hearing.”
“Are you s—ting me?” Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) also told the Huffington Post when pressed for his reaction.
Gaetz resigned immediately from the House after Trump’s announcement, which came reportedly before a Friday vote on whether to release a House Ethics Committee report related to allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use involving the now-former congressman.
Gaetz’s resignation will end the investigation that started in April 2021.
