Why are the Republicans in Congress so meek, weak, and afraid? Where is the GOP united front opposing Bragg's politicization of the justice system?
American Thinker ^ | 03/22/2023 | Patricia McCarthy

“You can tell a politician is lying when they claim they want fairness for all. They're part of and represent an unfair elite who will never share their wealth, power or opportunities with the underclass.” -Stewart Stafford

Conservative Americans have for a long time realized that the majority of their representatives in Congress, in both the House and the Senate, are squishes; men and women without the courage of their stated convictions. They fear the leftist media so much more than they fear their own constituents, for whom it seems they only have contempt. There are exceptions, of course, and we all know who they are: The indefatigable Jim Jordan, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Jim Comer, Thomas Massie, Jim Banks, Josh Hawley, Marjorie Taylor Green, to name a few of the few, fighters all. So far, Kevin McCarthy is doing a fair job as Speaker of the House. But why, oh, why, are even the good ones not gathering together to make a stand against the criminal district attorney of Manhattan?

D.A. Alvin Bragg’s pathetic move to indict Trump over a trumped-up charge no other law enforcement agency thought worthy of attention is ludicrous. This is a D.A. who has refused to charge countless violent criminals with felonies, yet has bet his career on charging the former president with a felony that wasn’t.

In April of 2021, then-Department of Justice attorney Michael Sherwin went on 60 Minutes to gleefully explain how the DOJ was going to charge anyone who was present at the Capitol on that day for their dissent.

This DOJ’s malevolent prosecutions of anyone who was there on January 6 has made our country’s legal system something akin to Stalin’s show trials.

Speaker McCarthy: you have the power of the purse; use it. Do not allow any appropriations that include funding for NYC or NYS to move through the House. Simple.

Like their failure to force Biden to secure the border by using the power of the purse. They flat lied to us about a lot of things.

He should be impeached for his DELIBERATE (yes, DELIBERATE) opening the southern border to all comers, over five million people from 160+ countries, at taxpayer expense.

Hillary Clinton could murder, butcher, cook, and eat a dozen babies on the White House lawn and the Washington, D.C. politicians of both political parties and the media would compliment her on her table manners. Hillary Clinton will never be arrested or tried for any crime she commits in this World. And she is also too wicked and evil to die. She will be alive at the Great White Throne Judgment.

16% of New York City’s budget comes from federal government grants. Cut it off until they stop the persecution of President Trump.

Probably hiding behind the funds established to hush up their own discretions. This fund foes exist and they pay off the women...and men before the harassment goes public and these funds come from our tax dollars!

My guess is that relatively few people are even aware of that practice.

I think that about 25% of New York State’s budget comes from tbe federal government (and a lot of the state’s money is funneled to NYC). So Speaker McCarthy, please cut off federal funding for both New York State and New York City. The people of New York have inflicted Schumer and Gillibrand and countless awful congressmen on the rest of the USA. And the people of Manhattan elected this hack D.A. Bragg. Take their play money away.

Because the deep state has dirt on everyone of them or set them up.

I’d stand by any political leader who stands up and says….they sent photos of me cheating on my wife…taking campaign money .. visiting Epstein island…..whatever dirt they found.

If they told the whole truth…go on Tucker and tell all the world what is happening “I was wrong but I can’t stand what the left is doing to our country…”
Or worse they’ve threatened my family me or both.

Or even worse. We no longer have a republic. They are all placed there to make money and do the left’s bidding. They all have no conscience.

In that case my husband was right all along.

Simple. When people who have the power to stop something but don’t - it is clear that they want it to happen.

The problem here is with the word “Republicans”...it doesn’t mean what the writer thinks it does.

Rep. Matt Gaetz
@RepMattGaetz

If I were Governor of Florida, I would not allow any Floridian to be hauled before a Soros-backed prosecutor in a blue city over politics. I wouldn’t make an exception to not protect the President of the United States.

Ron DeSantis should be standing in the breach to stop any sort of extradition of President Trump from the state of Florida.

The fact that he’s not doing so puts every Floridian at risk who could be the subject of a false allegation.

D.A. Alvin Bragg’s pathetic move to indict Trump over a trumped-up charge

It's unquestionably the most chickensh!t prosecution I have ever seen.

It won't be the last. Regardless of the outcome, the communist 'Rat Party will do worse in the future.

Someone has incriminating dirt on them, more than enough to keep them in line.
