House Republicans embark on a mission: Avenge Trump

[Social Media]

WASHINGTON — House Republicans are using the powers of their majority to carry out Donald Trump’s quest for retribution against his political adversaries, bolstering the indicted former president’s 2024 campaign message that he is the victim of a wide-ranging conspiracy by “villains” who must be brought down.

The battle to avenge Trump began on the first day of the new Congress, and it has grown nearly six months into the GOP majority, led by Trump’s staunchest allies in the conference and usually getting a helping hand from Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.

 

They’re fighting to “expunge” his impeachments. They’ve punished his most outspoken Democratic critics. They’re investigating law enforcement entities that charged Trump. They crafted a “weaponization” panel that channels his grievances.

Swing-district Republicans are in a bind between the wishes of their pro-Trump GOP base and Trump-skeptical independents.

“I accept Trump at his word that he will seek retribution,” said David Jolly, a former Republican congressman who is now a vocal Trump critic. “But what we’ve learned is: If he has a Republican Congress, that Congress will probably do what they can to ensure Trump has the executive authority to seek retribution.”

Retribution for what, exactly?  For not voting for him?  This is grade school mentality.

Not like they have anything else that needs dealing with on behalf of the American nation.

Fox News Host Still Isn’t Buying What James Comer Is Selling

Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy once again pressed House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Thursday to show the “goods” to prove Comer’s allegations about the “criminal scheme” perpetrated by President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

And, once again, Comer simply told Doocy and his co-hosts that “we’re gonna get into that” down the road.
