We must be living in bizzarro world, because Andrew Cuomo of all people just condemned the FBI raid on President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
That’s right…
Cuomo condemned the FBI while most of the republican party hasn’t yet…
“DOJ must immediately explain the reason for its raid & it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives or it will be viewed as a political tactic and undermine any future credible investigation & legitimacy of January 6 investigations.”
Cuomo tweeted on Tuesday.
Former democrat presidential nominee Andrew Yang also condemned the FBI raid, saying that it strengthens the case for Americans calling the government corrupt.

Newsmax has more on these surprising words from Cuomo:
In a surprising turn of events Tuesday, former Democrat New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo demanded answers from the Department of Justice to explain why it sent FBI agents to raid the Florida home of former President Donald Trump.
“[The Department of Justice] must immediately explain the reason for its raid and it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives, or it will be viewed as a political tactic, and undermine any future, credible, investigation and legitimacy of Jan. 6 investigations,” Cuomo posted on Twitter Tuesday morning.
FBI agents raided Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s residence in Palm Beach, Florida, Monday, reportedly looking for boxes of “classified” materials the former president took from the White House in 2021, the New York Times reported.
This was a bit of a shocker…
DOJ must immediately explain the reason for its raid & it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives or it will be viewed as a political tactic and undermine any future credible investigation & legitimacy of January 6 investigations.

DOJ must disclose the bona fide nature of the August 8 action or else the republicans will use it to Discredit the Jan 6 investigation, which would be a terrible disservice to the good work of the house committee in exposing The Trump administration violations. https://t.co/KQ8AIK3DAJ

I didn’t think it would ever happen but Andrew Cuomo is 100% right here. https://t.co/oYkQ0YDkiF

I didn’t say it. It came from Democrats own liberal litter. @andrewcuomo has first hand knowledge of how prosecutors can abuse their power! @DNC @TheJusticeDept @FBI @USAttorneys #MerrickGarland https://t.co/P6fLwrE3yt

Andrew Yang, former democratic nominee for president, also condemned the FBI raid:
I’m no Trump fan. I want him as far away from the White House as possible. But a fundamental part of his appeal has been that it’s him against a corrupt government establishment. This raid strengthens that case for millions of Americans who will see this as unjust persecution.

“If they raided his home just to find classified documents he took from The White House,” one legal expert noted, “he will be re-elected president in 2024, hands down. It will prove to be the greatest law enforcement mistake in history.” https://t.co/xMznFPn0UG

The Washington Times has more on Cuomo’s surprising condemnation of the FBI’s actions:
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday joined Republicans demanding FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland explain why federal agents raided former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat who frequently sparred with Mr. Trump, is a surprising figure to buck his own party and call for answers after the raid.

Not surprisingly, many RINOS have yet to condemn this disgusting abuse of power.
It's worth noting that the @SenateGOP have yet to send a single tweet on the FBI's raid of Trump…
We need a complete redo of the @GOP https://t.co/AnLJJost6h

Multiple Democrat candidates who ran for President against Trump (Yang & Tulsi) have strongly condemned the FBI's actions

Yet Republican LEADER Mitch McConnell has remained SILENT about the storming of the HOME of a Republican President
