Senator Thom Tillis, an alleged Republican from North Carolina, was upset on Tuesday about the weaponization of government and suggested it’s worse under President Donald Trump.
Tillis has spent the entire past two years blocking President Trump’s agenda; he had blocked Todd Blanche’s nomination, but he and John Cornyn have given up on that. When he isn’t doing that, he’s demeaning President Trump.
He said that confirming Blanche will somehow correct the absurdity of weaponization. It’s ironic since he has done his best to weaponize his role against President Trump.
HuffPo and other left-wing outlets are making the most that they can out of his suggestion but don’t seem happy that he approved Todd Blanche. Tillis and Cornyn changed their minds after President Trump threatened to bring up the 1.8 billion slush fund again. Todd Blanche assured them that that’s dead for now.
Thom Tillis has been on the side of the Democrats on every important issue, including J6. He had no problem with the fact that most of these people who were prosecuted only walked into the building, which is normally called trespassing, not domestic terrorism.
The weaponization against Republicans was horrendous and put thousands in prison and bankrupted them. Democrats went after Trump with bogus cases, and they did the same to all of his key allies. They operated like Stalinists. There is nothing like that going on.
Maybe John Thune is in the Senate to do the same thing: block the agenda.
He wants to block and get off the hook. One thing that is true, is we should be angry with Demcorats for what they have done and continue to do.

“How about we make it about them!”
