Democratic Lawmaker Corrects Herself After Suggesting Violence Against Trump

Democratic Delegate Stacey Plaskett corrected herself after saying on MSNBC Sunday that former President Donald Trump 'needs to be shot' instead of 'stopped' while discussing his indictment in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. Plaskett criticized Republicans for pushing the idea of a 'two-tiered system' of justice and called their skepticism of the Department of Justice and the FBI 'propaganda.' Trump pleaded not guilty to 37 federal counts related to his mishandling of classified documents and continues to run in the 2024 Republican primary race.

House Democrats appoint member to undermine hearings and attack whistleblowers

House Democrats, including Stacey Plaskett, are resorting to lies to sabotage oversight hearings and attack whistleblowers. Plaskett, a nonvoting delegate, is a ranking member of the Select Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government. They attacked FBI whistleblower Steve Friend, lying about the status of his complaint and portraying him as a kook in the pay of “far-right” Trump operatives. Friend sacrificed his career to expose the truth about a hyper-politicized bureau. Democrats are scrambling to hide the abuses of the past two years, but the American people are beginning to see the truth.
