Trolling Trump
Progressives and "never Trumper" trolls like The Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson believe that the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago Monday night was a big win for their neverending effort to discredit former President Donald Trump’s presidency.
Florida Democrats are rejoicing about the FBI, and are even saying that the move was justified because Trump allegedly committed crimes.
I am still waiting to find out just what those crimes are. No indictments have come down.
And then the Dynamic Duo of Nikki Fried and Charlie Crist chimed in.
Oh boy.
“Ron DeSantis is defending Donald Trump instead of the rule of law, so I’ll be holding a press conference tomorrow in front of the governor’s mansion to remind Floridians that nobody is above the law,” stated Fried.
Crist’s communications director dug deep to find the words for Charlie’s statement:
“Ron DeSantis attacks law enforcement for legally raiding Mar-a-Lago while he’s yet to say anything about the heinous Nazis in our state who've been rallying in support of him. Also, attacking a private company, Disney, for free speech is about as "banana republic" as it gets.”
One of the funniest and most hypocritical tweets of the night came from Progressive State Rep. Anna Eskamani, who called Trump a “grifter” for fundraising off of the raid.
“Once a grifter, always a grifter,” tweeted Rep. Eskamani.
What is absolutely hilarious and hypocritical is that Eskamani and other Progressives were mum when recently suspended Hillsborough County Attorney General Andrew Warner released a video statement about his firing, where he asked for financial support for his political campaign. READ MORE HERE
And then there is Little Carlitos.
Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith takes the cake by making this all about, wait for it… wait for it… being gay.
Rep. Smith accuses DeSantis of weaponizing just about “every state agency and department against” gays, or the LGBTQ-E-I-E-O community.

We need answers NOW. The FBI must explain what they were doing today & why.
Ron DeSantis-The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves. Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic.
