MSNBC host Rachel Maddow stated Thursday on “Deadline” that President-elect Donald Trump is trying to “ruin the U.S. federal government” with his choices to fill his administration's cabinet.
Maddow stated, “I believe the concept of the authoritarian guarantee is that whatever shrivels in federal government other than the will of the leader? You do not always put a Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in charge of you're hoping for fantastic things from HHS. Matt Gaetz, he has actually clearly proposed eliminating the Justice Department, not particularly eliminating the FBI and the ATF however speaking about eliminating the Justice Department.”
She included, “I indicate, Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence is, I suggest, the concept that Tulsi Gabbard, in a regular situation, might get a security clearance to be like a Walmart-style greeter at any U.S. intelligence firm, not to mention surpass the security barriers, is ridiculous. You do that due to the fact that you desire the worst for these firms, since you desire the worst for the U.S. federal government since you believe that the U.S. federal government is useless. That's part of combining power, to make the U.S. federal government absolutely nothing aside from the leader and individuals who will do what he states, and they're not being any repository of know-how, not to mention, you understand, simply basic everyday knowledge anywhere. It's a– it's a sort of, I suggest, Steve Bannon utilized to state, it's a sort of Leninist job? Ruin the state. This is the cabinet that you choose to, not to run the U.S. federal government, to do anything, however to ruin the U.S. federal government. That the U.S. federal government can be basically reimagined as something much more like a unitary authoritarian or autocratic, for absence of a much better term, system.”
