We’ve seen a lot of smug liberals reacting to opposition to the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago, asking conservatives if they’re not the ones always saying, “Back the Blue.” In general, conservatives do support the police, but there are well-earned exceptions, such as in the case of the Uvalde Police Department or, yes, the FBI. As we just pointed out in another post, the best person MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough could find to vouch for the political independence of the FBI was Peter “Insurance Policy” Strzok.
Former Vice President Mike Pence spoke at an event in New Hampshire Wednesday and addressed the FBI, saying calls to defund it were “just as wrong as calls to defund the police.”
Pence: "Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police."

Liz Cheney and Mike Pence have the same odds of one day becoming president.

Get ready for a righteous rant from Dana Loesch:
Excuse me? Buckle up.
The agency that tagged school board parents as "domestic terrorists?" That doctored emails, leaked to media, and otherwise weaponized authority for political targeting? "The attacks on the FBI must stop?" Pence thinks justifiable criticism is an attack? https://t.co/HDJOaJuOur— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) August 17, 2022
Is Pence describing criticism as an "attack?" Where was this heat when parents were "attacked?" Where was this heat when norms protecting civil rights against politically-motivated surveillance were "attacked?"

He says the GOP is the party of "law and order." None of what I just listed is “law and order” and Americans not only have a RIGHT to vociferously criticize this, we have an OBLIGATION.

I am so damn tired of people pretending that legitimate criticism of federal abuse is universal criticism of “law and order.” That dog don't hunt, folks.

Stop conflating federal with local. Spending on federal law enforcement has skyrocketed over this years compared to state and local. Clearly reduced accountability of federal enforcement is now daily headline fodder.

Those who want to abuse power are eager to delegitimize genuine and deserved criticism or attempt for accountability as some cry of the left. If only there was equal heat for the abuse and abusers who got us to this point.

I thought Pence was a good VP for Trump as his personality was to enact POTUS's agenda & fulfill his role as VP. Blaming Americans legitimately victimized by unaccountable bureaucracy is neither the smart nor effective way to go about this. You don't want tea party 3.0.

We're in for a stupidly annoying presidential primary cycle because all of these candidates want to lecture voters over justified outrage at egregious federal abuses as their way to set themselves apart from Trump.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) August 17, 2022
“Stupidly annoying” is exactly what we’re in for. We’ll have Trump, Ron DeSantis, whom the media and Democrats will paint as “Mini Trump,” and a bunch of people running on not being Trump, e.g., Liz Cheney and Mike Pence. And who even knows who the Democrats will end up putting up?
