In the wake of the FBI’s unprecedented tyrannical raid on former U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, the Republican reactions — for the most part — have been rolling in fast and furious. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) quickly called for an investigation “when Republicans take back the House” of Representatives. Um, what?
While that’s hardly the timely reaction this sort of blatantly politicized government overreach deserves, I suppose at this point we have to be grateful the GOP leadership is even reacting at all.
GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel called out the Democratic Party for its obvious hypocrisy and lawlessness regarding Hunter Biden and others — Hillary Clinton and her 30,000 ‘missing’ emails, anyone? — on the left who have not been held to account in the recent past.
McDaniel told Fox & Friends that the raid of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home was “deeply concerning” and “such an overreach.” “President Trump was right when he compared this [raid] to Watergate,” she said. “This is the government using an agency to spy on a potential opponent’s campaign. This is truly frightening and it is not what our democracy stands for.” While that’s true, it’s also frightening because of the myriad of other implications it has for each and every American’s right to privacy.
Former Vice President Mike Pence also shared his concern over the Mar-a-Lago “search” on Twitter, calling it “unprecedented” and something that had never been done before in the 245-ish years of the history of the United States.
