GOP ‘crazy’ to go after FBI, Texas Rep. Crenshaw says – By Shant Shahrigian (New York Daily News) / Aug 21, 2022
Republican calls to “defund” the FBI following the search of Mar-a-Lago are a “crazy” move for the self-styled party of law and order, a Republican congressman said Sunday.
Demands to cut funding for federal law enforcement came from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., after the Aug. 8 search of former President Donald Trump’s Florida home, while Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., compared the FBI to the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police.
“It’s crazy. And it makes us seem like extremist Democrats, right?” Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“Marjorie and AOC can go join the ‘defund the law enforcement’ club if they want,” he said, referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-Queens, Bronx. “Ninety-nine percent of Republicans are not on that train. What we want is accountability. We want transparency.”
