Mike Lee had a strong statement regarding former President Donald J. Trump’s indictment for his handling of classified documents.
“The Biden administration’s actions can only be compared to the type of oppressive tactics routinely seen in nations such as Venezuela, Bolivia, and Nicaragua, which are absolutely alien and unacceptable in America. It is an affront to our country’s glorious 246-year legacy of independence from tyranny, for the incumbent president of the United States to leverage the machinery of justice against a political rival. Such an act of absolute disrespect echoes despotism, making it fundamentally at odds with American democratic values,” Lee’s full statement on Twitter said.
He was not alone. Outgoing Utah congressman, Rep. Chris Stewart had this to say in his statement:
“These charges are equally unprecedented and unconscionable. This is a sad day for any American who believes in the rule of law. The National Archives have confirmed that every single president since Ronald Reagan has mishandled classified materials. There are clearly two standards of justice in our nation: one for people named Biden or Clinton and one for everyone else. I stand with President Trump against this brazen weaponization of our legal system.”
Mike Lee should run for president. He’s right on the money. Thank you for visiting! Please visit us again for more updates.
