Trump Advisor Tells Republicans To Start Drafting Criminal Referrals Against Democrats

Stephen Miller, a former advisor to Donald Trump who still maintains close ties with him, is telling Republicans in Congress to start drafting criminal referrals against Democrats. Miller said during an appearance on Fox News that conservatives are going to weaponize the Department of Justice against Democrats - but only because Democrats allegedly did it first. This is why Republicans have been making that claim all along - because every accusation is an admission, as Farron Cousins explains.

Former Donald Trump advisor Steven Miller, who of course, as we all know was the architect of some of the darkest and of course, most anti, non-white people, um, actions from the Trump administration. Uh, he was on Fox News this past weekend where he decided that it's time of course, for Republicans to fight fire with fire and weaponize the Department of Justice to go after Democrats. Here's what Mr. Miller had to say. We've entered a dark new era in American history in which the prosecutor's office has been weaponized and transformed into a tool of political repression. Anyone who is really thinking that it stops here and anybody thinking, well, this will be it. The radical left will move on, is living in a delusion. They're living in an absolute fantasy. If you can get away with having a local prosecutor or main justice takeover, a presidential election, throw innocent people in jail for decades, potentially, you can prosecute and incarcerate Republican attorneys for the crime. The thought crime of providing legal counsel with which the prosecutor disagrees. There is no ruling principle here. It will be open legal season on Republicans. The only way this ends, and I hate to say it, but it's true, is if Republicans return law fair in kind, that is the only way you could ever create the political conditions for a ceasefire. Otherwise, one side gets pulverized and it keeps getting pulverized.

Okay? So basically what he's saying is, as I said, Republicans have to weaponize attorneys general, they have to weaponize local prosecutors, and if they ever take back the White House, they gotta weaponize the D O J. You know, you know, just, just so the Democrats will, will agree that this is bad. Not, not because we we wanna do it, but you know, you Democrats have forced our hand. You know, you are The reason, uh, we have to become so extreme now is what Steven Miller is telling us. And, uh, it's interesting to point out by the way that he was in that segment on Fox News with host Maria Bart Romo, and also Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Green, who just a few days prior to this appearance on Sunday actually said that, uh, on social media. She said, why? Why are Republican ags and Republican prosecutors not prosecuting Democrats for their crimes? You see, here's what's happening folks. Republicans have been whining and crying all year, launching investigations in the house claiming that Democrats have somehow weaponized the justice system to go after Republicans. Now, they haven't, unfortunately, for them, been able to come up with any evidence to back any of that up, but they're still making that claim. Why? Because every accusation from Republicans is actually an admission, and that's what Steven Miller is trying to do here. He is like, oh, we, we don't wanna prosecute you, but now we have no choice.

He says, he said, we have no choice. We are gonna have to weaponize the D O J and just go after our political enemies. You know, we, we don't wanna, but OG whizz, you've made us have to do that. No, no, no, no. It's already been reported for months that Donald Trump has already planning on doing that, on doing that. So don't act like it's because he's being prosecuted. Y y'all, y'all had already planned on this, this, this is out there. It's in the ether. We know about it. I've talked about it, and let's be real here too. Let me tell you why this idiotic talking point of weaponizing, the D O j falls apart under scrutiny. How many Republican politicians are currently being prosecuted? I mean, we've got a dozen or so Republicans running for president right now. How many besides Donald Trump are being criminally prosecuted?

Hmm, the big old goose egg. How many current Republicans sitting, uh, sitting Republican members of the House or Senate are being even investigated by Democrats? Right? I mean, there's George Santos, but I think both sides agree that that guy's a corrupt s o b, and then beyond that, you've got nobody. If Democrats were actually doing what Republicans are accusing them of doing, don't you think the Democrats would be doing it to the Republicans that are accusing them of it?
