Ex-Trump White House Attorney Explains Trump’s Big New ‘F**ok You To America’
CNN’s Erin Burnett quoted Cobb as calling Gaetz’s selection a “fuck you to America.” Cobb said he used those words because Gaetz is unqualified “academically, professionally, ethically, morally and experientially.”
“He has no business being in this conversation,” he said, adding that the selection was “not serious” and “contemptuous.”
Cobb recalled seeing Gaetz while he was working in the White House during the Russia investigation in 2017 and 2018.
“When he walked into the White House when I was in the White House, serious staffers threw up red flags,” Cobb said. “They looked the other way and hoped he wasn’t there to visit them.”
