It would be great for just one second if the rhetoric would stop with Democrats trying to enflame the American people over a Trump presidency.
The latest being Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), who claimed that Trump would go on a "murdering spree" if he wins this election.
Talking Points…
- Project 2025
- Pressley predicts Trump 'murdering spree'
- Analysis
In April, The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, revealed its "Project 2025: Presidential Transition Project." The project focused on a massive overhaul of the Department of Justice and the FBI, both of which have received some rather significant black eyes over the last eight years or so, especially the FBI, which clearly has some rogue leadership in the agency.
The project called for a massive overhaul, from top-to-bottom, to regain the American people's trust. In part, the document states:
"While it is true — as with other federal departments and agencies — that there are committed career personnel across the Department who perform their duties faithfully and with the best intentions… the Department has become a bloated bureaucracy with a critical core of personnel who are infatuated with the perpetuation of a radical liberal agenda upon the American people — and the defeat of political enemies.
"It has become a cabinet-level department whose leadership appears to care more about how they are perceived in the next Politico or Washington Post article, or how any number of radical leftist organizations perceive their actions, than with doing justice and advancing the national interest for the American people."
Gene Hamilton, general counsel of America First Legal and former counselor to Attorney General William Barr, is the lead author of the chapter. He added:
"The DOJ chapter is very much focused on returning the department to its original glory but also recognizing the need for further improvements."
The project was recently discussed during a House hearing, with Squad member Rep. Pressley railed against the idea of overhauling these agencies, stating:
"The federal government has the largest and most diverse workforce in the country and Schedule F – an Executive Order that would replace tens of thousands of civil servants with partisan sycophants would destroy our government infrastructure —destroy it.
"It is critical that we understand that the far-right extremists who are advocating for Schedule F see it as a means to an end. It is their pathway to enact widespread, wholesale policy violence."
Then she unleashed her charge against Trump, stating:
"The Department of Justice would go on a murdering spree.
"It would rush to use the death penalty and expand its use to even more people while circumventing due process protections."
Democrats are now setting the table to make this all about race again. They are ignoring the fact that these people are on death row for a reason. That aside, there is no doubt that the FBI, at the very least, needs to be overhauled, as we have seen how rogue leadership can weaponize the agency. And honestly, I would be saying the same thing if someone was being overzealous in going after a Democrat, breaking longstanding rules and protocols in the process, as they did with Trump.
It cannot be denied that activists, instead of law enforcement officials, are leading the DOJ as a whole and the FBI in particular. Not only that, but we are seeing a hard lean against conservatives while liberal activists are not being prosecuted and set free on a regular basis. This needs to be fixed, and it needs to be fixed fast, or the American people will lose complete trust in both the DOJ and the FBI if they have not already.
