GOP split emerges in response to Mar-a-Lago search

The FBI’s search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort has created a divide between Republican politicians who are speaking out in support of law enforcement and others who are harshly critical of the Justice Department’s move to recover sensitive documents from Trump’s home. #CNN #News

  1. Margarine Tater Green Bean having a seat in Congress, is like a Flat Earther having a job at NASA. 🙄

    1. @Robert Lee Bobo the bowling alley flasher’s wife having a seat in Congress is like giving Jeffrey Dahmer his own cookery show

  2. Marjorie Taylor Greene is mad because every time she walks into a girl’s bathroom someone screams out, “hey, this is a ladies room dude!”.😠

  3. We have one party that is too fractured to help the average person as well as having the corporate sellouts like the Manchins/Sinemas & another party that has gone absolutely bonkers. I mean seriously how does any able bodied, able minded person vote for a person like MTG or Boebert. People in other nations really believe some of these clips are comedy skits. Sadly it’s not!

    1. @MegaRussell12 H.R. 6552 – Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2022.

    2. @Glendabarton45 Barton I am a gun owner and I feel the same way . When people start showing off their guns it makes me nervous . Some people just don’t get it . I never show my guns to anybody and certainly not around other people . I don’t carry either . Sometimes in my glove box when traveling .

    3. @TX Rick Millions of Americans own guns, and they will need no outside help in offing each other if they should so choose. There are those like you who own guns with a sense of dread and hope against hopes that they will never have to use them. But so many more think nothing of purchasing an AR along with their weekly groceries at Walmart.

    1. @Jose luis perez Jose, I agree with your characterization of Kevin McCarthy. The guy is the congressional rep for my district and is a total embarrassment for his ambitions and his flat out lies to the American people.
      BUT, his wife is an honorable, sincere, honest, and devoted spouse. She is perhaps the best of him in many ways.
      No need to attack her when he offers so many idiot and greedy moves from gloating when he thinks he has the upper hand to not reading legislation before he votes for it and up to and beyond lying about what he has done or said and deflecting from and denying the truth observed by millions. His kids keep their noses clean and out of the news and Kevin does come from an outstanding family (although he failed to win his father’s firefighters’ union’s endorsement in every election). Just search the number of times he photo-bombed Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was a lowly Californian Assemblyman. He’s ambitious beyond his skills and intellect. In other words, he’s a puppet who thinks he’s a puppet master. But his wife and family are just unfortunate enough to be related to this worm.

  4. It should be extremely disturbing to all of us that so many Republicans are apparently sticking with djt because they are afraid of his and his base’s retaliation. That is horribly reminiscent of what happened in Europe in 1920’s and 1930’s that lead up to WW2.

    1. @JAE ESS Well, I couldn’t find anything to support your claim the documents in question were related to misconduct in the Obama administration or the DOJ. Further, if that’s what they disclosed, why wouldn’t he have used them to put all his naysayers on blast??

  5. God save us if its the younger political generation that screws it up for not just the Gen X/Y and Millenial generations, but for the future generations to come 🙁
    If Ron DeSantis, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Matt Gaetz are the bar for today’s politicians, then seriously just elect Tony the Tiger, Miss Piggy, and Cookie Monster for politics 😕

    1. @Veganpotter Thevegan Well Im from New york and construction business was very shady in 80s no way around it . But he did help brink back NY was only person willing to risk building hi end hotels. Gave alot jobs to union workers that was struggling

    2. This is a perfect example why the US government needs to require “Education”, for all politicians. Boebert does not even have a high school degree! I sure would not want a Doctor working on me. With no education

    1. @peter Except your comment has affect on weather he is guilty. Your not involved in the case so don’t have the right to declare him guilty.

      You can believe he is guilty. I never said btw that I didn’t think he was guilty you assumed. Just like you assume he is guilty and declare it as the truth when the case isn’t finished.

    2. @Natenae He is guilty of taking TS/SCI tier documents out of a secure gov’t location and into his private residence which can be accessed by people with no security clearance to peruse through TOP national security information. This has nothing to do with classified or declassified. Those documents CANNOT leave secure location for ANY REASON. What part of this is OK with you?

  6. Can we get back to the fact that any of these documents, classified or not, should not have been in the possession of DJT? Even if the documents were unclassified, it is a felony for them to be in his possession. We are arguing about how bad it is when it is really bad at the lowest level.

    1. How will the arresting officers feel while reading the Miranda Warning to trump? “Donald Trump. You have the ……

    2. My daydream is his sons trying to defend mar a lago, like salaam husseins did his palace in bagdad….with the same outcome.

  7. This is why as a Republican following the facts are so important. The voices of the Trump boot licker need to be banned from the party. Thank you Asa and Crenshaw it takes courage to speak the truth nowadays

    1. They should NOT be banned. They should continuously be called out and fact checked. They should be shown to be llars.
      Banning them simply gives others the excuse that they have been silenced.

  8. Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.” — Congresswoman Liz Cheney

    1. @Bingbong Bang nobody that age knows who she is. WTF do you think she’s famous for anyway? Can you name something?

    1. “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it” -Joseph Goebbels

    2. Florida’s Clay County school board member described a race against time to remove ‘unconscionable’ pornographic books from libraries—–
      One of the books Gilhousen mentioned was “Lawn Boy” by Jonathan Evison, which describes a boy recalling oral sex from when he was “ten years old.”..

  9. Marjorie toddler green is a child. Children in her district elected her to office. We need adults to take control of this nonsense. And hold these children accountable for their words.

    1. @Dre Sted Because Trump is guilty and Rey is doing his job. Trump supporters truly cannot fathom someone not worshipping Trump or the notion that Trump might not be all he seems (to the oblivious)

  10. Ron Desantis says “They’re enforcing the law based on who they like and who they don’t like” while he is literally passing laws, in his state, based on who he likes and who he doesn’t like. You don’t get much dumber than that.

    1. Actually more evil than Trunk in my opinion, and that is saying something… but I don’t think he has the appeal to the stupid ones.

    2. I what is an elected official to do? Represent the local voters ?
      I’d be more ok with California doing it’s thing and florid doing it’s thing over the federal gov executing it’s thing on both cali and Florida . Smaller federal gov is better , that way no matter who is in office the impact is minimized if one side or the other doesn’t like the guy occupying

  11. It’s about time for ‘sane’ voices in the GOP. to grow up, wake up, speak up and start working for the people as a whole not just a few.

  12. Any other government employee who took even one of those top secret documents home would already be locked up right now. I can’t even imagine why there is a completely different threshold for justice when it come to this despicable person.
