This led the Washington Post to report on a “shift in the GOP” away from supporting law enforcement – noting that MAGA Republicans are promoting violence and slamming law enforcement agencies in response to the federal charges: “some allies have hinted at a violent response, putting authorities on high alert.”
REMINDER: Last month, the DCCC launched a billboard campaign from coast to coast, targeting 12 vulnerable House Republicans who represent districts President Biden won in 2020. These so-called moderate Republicans refused to condemn the twice-impeached, criminally-and-federally-indicted former president’s call to “defund the DOJ and FBI,” once again putting party loyalty above public safety.
DCCC spokesperson Courtney Rice:
“Republicans can no longer claim to be the party of law and order with their recent, repeated attacks on the law enforcement agencies that keep our communities safe. The DCCC will continue holding vulnerable House Republicans accountable for putting fealty to their party and a federally-indicted, twice-impeached president over public safety.”
