Republican Mike Garcia’s shameless hypocrisy is on full display today.
After the news that the FBI searched Donald Trump’s Florida home Mar-a-Lago, Garcia suddenly changed his tune on backing law enforcement, claiming there is “not a single national security imperative to warrant raiding a former president’s residence,” and trying to spin this as “a flagrant abuse of federal power.”
The manufactured outrage is proof that Mike Garcia 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. The last 24 hoursmade clear: Trump’s Republican Party has no conviction that won’t collapse like a house of cards the second it serves them politically.
“Mike Garcia will do or say literally anything if he thinks it will help his self-absorbed quest for political power,” said DCCC spokesperson Maddy Mundy. “If Garcia really respected the law, he would let law enforcement do their work instead of attacking the integrity of the FBI.”
