Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) reportedly opposed President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee, Matt Gaetz.

McConnell, however, voted to confirm President Joe Biden’s pick, Merrick Garland, for the same post nearly four years ago.

Under Garland, the Justice Department has been weaponized against America First Republicans. Some examples include:

  • Attempting to jail Trump
  • Directing the FBI to address “threats” at local school board meetings
  • Raiding Project Veritas
  • Raiding Mar-a-Lago
  • Probing individuals who dared to question the 2020 election results
  • Prohibiting DOJ employees from speaking directly to members of Congress
  • Failing to charge Hunter Biden for allegedly violating FARA
  • Failing to charge Joe Biden in the classified documents case

    • More examples of the weaponization of government is here.

    “I think a lot of people in Washington, if they were to be honest, would admit that the FBI and the Department of Justice have a very big problem. But they also know that if they were to tackle that, it would, admittedly, help Donald Trump,” The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway told Fox News.

    “That’s one of his big cases. And they are not willing to do it. And so they are allowing the FBI and the Department of Justice to be weaponized and to be politicized rather than to tackle this huge problem,” she added.

    McConnell has never been a strong supporter of Trump and the America First agenda. Under McConnell’s leadership, the national debt rose more than $30 trillion, illegal immigration continued, and real wages for American workers remained stagnant. Obamacare was enacted in 2010. Big banks were bailed out in 2008, and social media companies silenced individuals without repercussions.
