Marjorie Taylor Greene Blasts Dan Crenshaw for Criticizing Republicans Calling to Defund FBI After Mar-a-Lago Raid

RINO Rep. Dan Crenshaw on Sunday sought to distance himself from other Republicans calling to defund the FBI after the Mar-a-Lago raid.

“Oh yes, it’s crazy,” Crenshaw responded when CNN’s Jake Tapper asked him about recent GOP rhetoric on “State of the Union.”

The Hill reported:

Many in the GOP have portrayed the search, which was connected to an investigation into the former president’s handling of classified documents, as politically motivated. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) filed impeachment articles against Attorney General Merrick Garland and called for the FBI to be defunded.

Those demands have been met with condemnation from some in the GOP, drawing comparisons to the defund the police movement that has been promoted by progressive lawmakers including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).

“It makes us seem like extremist Democrats, right?” Crenshaw said on Sunday. “And so Marjorie and AOC can go join the defund the law enforcement club if they want. Ninety-nine percent of Republicans are not on that train.”

Despite separating himself from those calls, Crenshaw on Sunday did call for accountability and transparency from the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) following the search, saying it was “automatically political.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene blasted Crenshaw for his comments.

“‘Conservative’ Dan Crenshaw runs to CNN to beg Democrat activists like Jake Tapper to take him seriously. Comparing our great men & women in local law enforcement who put their lives on the line to corrupt deep state FBI operatives like Peter Strozk & Lisa Page is shameful,” MTG tweeted.

For the record.

MTG: Defunding the FBI is defunding the corrupt deep state that is weaponizing our federal agencies against conservatives all across America.

AOC: Defund the police is defunding our community protectors and is creating lawlessness across America.

It must be your master’s degree from Harvard that qualifies you to inform the public they are wrong in their opinion about the communist style leaders in the FBI.

I mean surely everyone is supposed to believe the FBI wire tapping Trump Tower under Obama was perfectly ok.

He wants you to see no difference in the FBI & DOJ setting up the Russia collusion hoax wasting $30+ million taxpayer dollars on the Democrat’s communist style political witch hunt and local law enforcement just trying to get drug gangs off the streets and lock up murderers.

using your first amendment freedom of speech proclaiming your outrage over Merrick Garland sending the FBI to raid Maralago even though Pres Trump and his attorneys were nicely working with them and the FBI had already been there and inspected the very documents they raided for.

Try telling that to your voters Dan.

They might not have a degree from Harvard and hang out with Klaus Schwab but they have the wisdom to see the very clear difference between the politically corrupt FBI and our good men and women guarding our communities each night.
