Mike Pence told Republicans today to stop attacking the FBI, specifically the rank and file members.
He said, in obvious reference to the Trump raid, that we should let things play out but that he would keep calling for the AG to be transparent to hold him accountable.
Watch:
Geez. The last applause line took forever to get a response. I wonder why.
You know, what gets me about this is that Republicans aren’t attacking the ‘rank and file’ as Pence suggests. No, it’s the LEADERSHIP that is corrupt and we have a right to be upset about them abusing their power, over and over.
It’s almost like Pence just wanted to grandstand on something just to get some attention. Well it worked. I’ll let Dana Loesch take it from here:
Excuse me? Buckle up.
The agency that tagged school board parents as "domestic terrorists?" That doctored emails, leaked to media, and otherwise weaponized authority for political targeting? "The attacks on the FBI must stop?" Pence thinks justifiable criticism is an attack? https://t.co/HDJOaJuOur— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) August 17, 2022
Is Pence describing criticism as an "attack?" Where was this heat when parents were "attacked?" Where was this heat when norms protecting civil rights against politically-motivated surveillance were "attacked?"

He says the GOP is the party of "law and order." None of what I just listed is “law and order” and Americans not only have a RIGHT to vociferously criticize this, we have an OBLIGATION.

I am so damn tired of people pretending that legitimate criticism of federal abuse is universal criticism of “law and order.” That dog don't hunt, folks.

Stop conflating federal with local. Spending on federal law enforcement has skyrocketed over this years compared to state and local. Clearly reduced accountability of federal enforcement is now daily headline fodder.

Those who want to abuse power are eager to delegitimize genuine and deserved criticism or attempt for accountability as some cry of the left. If only there was equal heat for the abuse and abusers who got us to this point.

I thought Pence was a good VP for Trump as his personality was to enact POTUS's agenda & fulfill his role as VP. Blaming Americans legitimately victimized by unaccountable bureaucracy is neither the smart nor effective way to go about this. You don't want tea party 3.0.

We're in for a stupidly annoying presidential primary cycle because all of these candidates want to lecture voters over justified outrage at egregious federal abuses as their way to set themselves apart from Trump.
