Republican Hung Cao’s shameless hypocrisy is on full display today.
After the news that the FBI searched Donald Trump’s Florida home Mar-a-Lago, suddenly Cao changed his tune on backing law enforcement, calling it “the weaponization of law enforcement for political purposes” and the “criminalization of political disagreement.”
The manufactured outrage is proof that Hung Cao will do or say anything if it benefits him politically, even if it means throwing law enforcement under the bus. As National Journal put it: “Republican incumbents appeared to become the party of ‘defund the police’ in a matter of hours.”
Instead of letting law enforcement do its job, Republicans immediately leapt to spread baseless conspiracy theories and attack the integrity of the FBI. Last night made clear: Trump’s Republican Party has no conviction that won’t collapse like a house of cards the second it serves them politically.
“Hung Cao will do or say literally anything if he thinks it will help his self-absorbed quest for political power,” said DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson. “If Cao really respected the law, he would let law enforcement do their work instead of spreading baseless conspiracy theories and attacking the integrity of the FBI.”
