‘Reckless lunatic’: Trump critics flabbergasted by his latest pick for a crucial post

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. https://t.co/z7wjcFw4VQ

Perhaps this is all a clever plan by Trump to put Fox News out of business by hiring away all of their hosts. https://t.co/vnIYAjX90S

Every day it's more nonsense. I honestly cannot believe we're going to have another 3 years and 8 months of this bullshit. https://t.co/2UgSME9Atg

Shocking but not surprise. Is there anyone else left to come off TV and go work for Trump? https://t.co/AFMeMvo3zk

I was going to make a joke about Jesse Waters becoming Commerce Secretary and then I thought…better not give him any ideas. https://t.co/hKpCtFxMqv

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.
