in World News Conservatives Denounce FBI Raiding Mar-a-Lago
by Paul Bois
News of the FBI raiding former President Donald Trump’s private home of Mar-a-Lago ignited a firestorm of reactions from Republican politicians and conservative activists on Twitter, all of whom denounced the move as a blatant power grab by the Democrats to silence and intimidate a potential 2024 nominee.
As Breitbart News reported on Monday, FBI agents swarmed the former president’s home in Florida on Monday, reportedly to obtain classified documents he had in his possession after leaving the White House, according to various sources.
“These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar- A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” Trump said in a statement. “Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before.”
Other conservatives and Trump supporters piled on the condemnation, calling Monday’s actions by the FBI inexcusable persecution of the former president that will lead to serious future consequences.
The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves. Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic.
