“Mere hours after expressing outrage about Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion taxpayer slush fund for January 6th insurrectionists and other allies, eight Senate Democrats voted to confirm a Trump nominee who refuses to admit that the Capitol was even attacked on January 6th by the same insurrectionists.
“All federal judges need to be loyal to the law and the rights of the people–not to the President’s personal or political agenda.
“Trump is already weaponizing the Department of Justice as his own personal law firm. There is no excuse or reason to help him do the same thing to our judiciary.”
