Sen. Eric Schmitt: Voters Are Rejecting Democrats Weaponization Of Our Justice System | Video | RealClearPolitics
SEN. ERIC SCHMITT: We’re going to use every procedural tool we have in the Senate to slow things down and block these nominees.
I mean, the Department of Justice has been fully weaponized not just against President Trump, but the American people. And so, unlike them working outside the law, we’re going to work within the rules. But this is a response. There has to be response.
We cannot allow our country to descend into a banana republic, these two tiers of justice that you see under the Biden administration, willing to put political opponents in jail, censor Americans, usher in an invasion, try to convert them to voters. This is all on the watch of the Biden administration. This is their plan.
So President Trump, I think, offered a very sharp contrast. He was very optimistic. He was talking about unity. He was talking about winning. He’s talking about saving this country. He’s talking about how the record — I think, Maria, it’s important for people to understand, for the first time in anybody’s lifetime, we have an opportunity to judge two presidents on their record.
Normally, it’s a president versus a challenger or an open seat. Now we have two records. And you put President Trump’s record on having a secure border, not being involved in any wars, an economy that worked for working families, as opposed to this high inflation, high prices. You compare that to what Americans are living through right now, I think the choice is pretty clear.
Except that Trump is promising, isn’t he?, to do exactly the same thing if and when he gets in. That’s no bueno. We need a candidate who’s a combination of George Patton and Jesus. But he or she is not on the horizon.
