DeSantis: DOJ Has Been Weaponized Against Trump

“Our Founding Fathers would have absolutely predicted the weaponization that we’ve seen with these agencies, particularly Justice and FBI, because when you don’t have constitutional accountability, human nature is such that they will abuse their power, and that’s what’s happened. Nobody has held them accountable.

“When I was in Congress, I remember, you know, Hillary had the emails that were classified and my view was, ‘well gee, you know, as a naval officer if I would have taken classified to my apartment I would have been court-martialed in a New York minute.’ And yet they seem to not care about that.

“Is there a different standard for a Democrat Secretary of State versus a former Republican president? I think there needs to be one standard of justice in this country.

“Let’s enforce it on everybody and make sure we all know the rules. You can’t have one faction of society weaponizing the powers of the state against factions that it doesn’t like, and that’s what we’ve seen.

“And here’s the thing, there is obviously very high profile examples, but there’s examples of ordinary people who may not get the same headlines. A pro-life advocate may have twenty FBI agents storming their house at six o’clock in the morning.

“You may have parents going to a school board meeting in Virginia that are being surveilled by the FBI. So the weaponization of these agencies strikes at the heart of what it means to have a free society, and it’s not just affecting people at the top, it’s affecting people all throughout our country.” – Ron DeSantis, last night in North Carolina.
