Gaetz Goes Down

Matt Gaetz is out as Trump's attorney general pick after the
mounting questions about past interactions with young women cost
him the support of key senators. Nominated in his place: former
Florida AG Pam Bondi. Meanwhile, House Republicans have decided
their top priority is prohibiting incoming Congresswoman Sarah
McBride from using women's bathrooms in the Capitol. Jon and Dan
break down what the Gaetz debacle says about Trump's Cabinet
picks, his rocky relationships with Senate Republicans, what the
bathroom stunt means for LGBTQ rights, and how McBride and her
colleagues should respond. Then, Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp
Perez talks with Jon about how she pulled off another win in her
rural, Trump-supporting district, and what Democrats can learn
from her success.
