Dems should call out Republican support for Trump's fascism project. It's not just Trump. The entire GOP is corrupt to the core.
Let's not permit them to act like victims down the road, or to rehabilitate their party image.

This is also a reminder that Trump's authoritarian corruption is heavily enabled by the GOP Congress. This prosecution should be scrutinized by the judiciary committees. The GOP won't do this.
But a Dem House can. And Dems should say clearly that this is coming:

There's video of Don Lemon outside the protest stating explicitly: "I'm just chronicling. I'm not with the group." Bondi went to grand jury for an indictment after the courts declined to approve arrest warrant *twice.*

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Mike Johnson was covering up child rape a full year before Pam Bondi made it trendy.
The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz sex trafficked minors.
He raped minors.
He paid minors for sex.
And Mike Johnson kept the report sealed.
This was the man they wanted to be Attorney General.
…don’t you realize they’re covering for Trump?
