(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Former Vice President Mike Pence announced his loyalty to the regime this week, pleading with fellow Republicans to stop slamming the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Pence said his statement at a breakfast gathering at St. Anselm College for business leaders–a place where presidential hopefuls typically speak in order to gauge interest, according to the AP.
According to Pence, Republicans should focus their ire on Attorney General Merrick Garland, not FBI agents.
“I also want to remind my fellow Republicans, we can hold the attorney general accountable for the decision he made without attacking the rank-and-file law enforcement personnel at the FBI,” he said.
Pence then spouted pieties about the Republican party, comparing calls to defund the FBI to calls to defund the police.
“The Republican Party is the party of law and order,” he said.
“Our party stands with the men and women who stand on the thin blue line at the federal and state and local level, and these attacks on the FBI must stop. Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police.”
Of course, the FBI and the intelligence industry have never really been about law and order. Agents of these bureaucracies in fact seem to believe that they are above the law, unlike the police.
“If you’re pro-law enforcement, you should also be pro-defunding the FBI, as it’s an unaccountable secret police force infamous for harboring criminals, framing the innocent [with] crimes, ignoring actual security threats, and sabotaging U.S. elections,” wrote Tom Elliott.
Of course, Pence has little interest in consistency at this point, as he presumably sets his sight on the White House in 2024. His dedication to politicking is so devout that he even said that he would consider participation in the J6 Committee witch hunt earlier this year.
“It would be unprecedented in history for a vice president to be summoned to testify on Capitol Hill, but as I said, I don’t want to prejudge,” he said. “If ever any formal invitation was rendered to us, we’d give it due consideration.”
