“House Republicans stood behind former President Donald Trump Tuesday after he said he was told he is a target in the Justice Department’s probe of the January 6 Capitol riots,” The Messenger reports.
Said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA): “It’s interesting that it happens more and more as Trump rises in the polls and Biden falls in the polls. That’s an unfortunate part of this and an unequal application of Justice.”
Said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA): “This is absolute bullshit. This is weaponized government. Democrats can’t win an election so they have to arrest their political opponents.”
Greene later called Special Counsel Jack Smith “a weak little bitch for the Democrats.”
