‘Ridiculous’: Experts Mock ‘Deeply Unserious’ Trump for Picking 23rd Former Fox Employee

Political commentators and journalists criticized the decision, saying that Pirro is unqualified for the role.

Lawyer Tristan Snell wrote: "BREAKING: Trump to name Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as interim US Attorney for DC After Senate rejected his last pick, Ed Martin How many more TV hosts is Trump going to put in serious positions they’re unqualified for? THIS IS THE US GOVERNMENT — NOT THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE"

Matthew Gertz, a fellow with Media Matters for America, wrote: "Pirro is the 23rd former Fox employee Trump has named to his administration. She's wildly unqualified to be DC's top prosecutor and was been described by her former executive producer as a "reckless lunatic." Gonna thread some of her lowlights."

Democratic strategist Mike Nellis wrote: "Naming Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. Attorney is ridiculous. That needs to be said. Trump is deeply unserious and has no interest in keeping any of us safe. Same with Hegseth. Loyalty over competence—always."

Political commentator Ron Filpkowski sarcastically said: "I’m sure Jeanine Pirro will just be working hard in the office on personnel issues and supervising big cases/investigations and won’t have time to do a bunch of Fox interviews because she will be totally focused on the job."

1. Just absolutely nuts that a public speaking college degree is the most education most of these 23 have. ...

... Pirro wasn't on Fox because she was burning it down as a lawyer.

4. 23? I'm looking for a list but haven't found anything yet

10. Thanks. I'd forgotten that Gorka was back. 🙄

Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism.

I don’t think Guilfoyle had been confirmed as Ambassador yet. The NFL Draft has a pick done by what would have been her position but it wasn’t her.

Leo Terrell, senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights

Also - Mark Levin, Fox News host, appointed to the Homeland Security Advisory Council.

What a clown show.

2. I was thinking this morning that he is truly trolling us with all of these picks

Mostly thinking and Kennedy and his nonsense with Trumpo calling his ideas "interesting" as of Trumpo has a curious bone in his body .

[hatrack]

7. Of course - he doesn't know how to do anything else . . .

Other than stuffing his pockets with loot, that's all he's there for - owning the libtards.

3. The "experts" should mock the "deeply unserious" Republican Senate for confirming all these FOX News hosts.

They wouldn't confirm Ed Martin, but they did saddle the country with Bondi, Hegseth, Patel, Gabbard, RFK Jr., et al.

6. Yup. If Pete is in charge of our military, who cares about the DC attorney role

Qualifications don't matter.

8. At least

Whisky Pete will have a drinking buddy.

9. For Someone Who Doesn't Like Drumks

He sure picks a lotta drunks!

11. If I were Hannity my feelings would be hurt, "nothing for me???"

12. And Tucker - so unfair! (nt)

13. They've scraped the bottom of the barrel

and broke through and are now tunneling into the dirt to find another live worm to appoint to a cabinet level position.

14. Meritocracy of highly qualified super geniuses

[sheshe2]

15. Send in the clowns 🎵

Send in the clowns to distract and fool the audience

[Warpy]

16. I thought it was a n idiotic choice until I remembered it could be worse

He could have chosen Sidney Powell.

Face it, all of his appointments to the parts of government he doesn't like have been ludicrous. He wants to destroyy as much of it as he can so he can get out from under paying taxes. That's 100% of what this is about.
