Murdoch’s New York Post begs Trump to drop Gaetz and Gabbard
The Post took particular aim at Gaetz, highlighting the ethical controversies that have dogged the former Florida congressman, including allegations of sex trafficking—though no charges were brought against him. The editorial warned that Gaetz’s appointment could overshadow the administration’s priorities and invite a media firestorm. Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman turned right-wing anti-interventionist, was also criticized as an unusual and potentially divisive choice, given her history of clashing with both political parties and her contrarian stances on foreign policy and national defense. The Post questioned whether either candidate reflected the competence and unity needed in Trump’s cabinet.
