‘Defund the FBI’ after Mar-a-Lago? What happened to conservatives’ love for the badge? – By Elvia Díaz (Arizona Republic) / Aug 9, 2022
Opinion: Conservatives want to ‘Defund the FBI’ after agents raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Do they now support defunding the police, too?
Their love for law enforcement is no more.
Conservatives’ blind support for the badge ended on Monday after the FBI’s search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
The “Defund the FBI” rallying cry came from the deepest corners of the MAGA world, from Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Green to Colorado’s Lauren Boebert to Arizona’s Paul Gosar.
“We must destroy the FBI,” Gosar wrote on Twitter. “We must save America.”
The FBI raid on Trump's home tells us one thing.
Failure is not an option.
We must destroy the FBI.
We must save America.
I stand with Donald J. Trump.
