Jim McGovern knocked the president-elect for his “junk” choices in scathing remarks on the House floor.
Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) scorched Donald Trump for wanting to make his Cabinet a “junk drawer” on Wednesday as he slammed the president-elect over his picks for top government roles in a speech on the House floor.
“I mean, it looks like the requirements to be in the Trump White House that you either abuse women or you’re an out-of-touch billionaire,” said McGovern, who has previously called Trump’s picks “beyond insane.”
“What’s next?” he added. “Are they going to replace FBI background checks with a Fox News screen test?”
McGovern knocked Trump for picking several men accused of sexual misconduct to join his administration including former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, Trump’s choice to serve as defense secretary who he is reportedly considering replacing with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) amid spiraling controversy.
“I mean, this guy is probably dropping out momentarily. Apparently, he drinks on the job and paid to cover up his sexual assault allegations. Even his mom doesn’t like him,” McGovern said of Hegseth and his mother’s damning 2018 criticism which she has since walked back.
