Twitter users blasted Merrick Garland after he said that the U.S. DOJ has prosecuted more pro-life activists blocking abortion clinic centers than pro-choicers firebombing pregnancy centers because pro-lifers operate in the "daylight."
Twitter users blasted U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday after he explained that the U.S. Department of Justice has prosecuted more pro-life activists blocking abortion clinic centers than pro-choicers firebombing pregnancy centers because pro-lifers operate in the "daylight."
Garland made the point that it was easier for the U.S. government to carry out justice against pro-lifers than pregnancy center arsonists in a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on Wednesday.
Garland’s claims came after several U.S. senators, including Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, grilled him on what they perceived as a double standard in the DOJ's treatment of pro-lifers versus violent pro-choice activists.
The conservative lawmakers suggested during the hearing that under Garland’s oversight, the DOJ and FBI had chosen to persecute pro-life Catholics and all but ignore the pro-choice activists that had vandalized and burned crisis pregnancy centers and Catholic churches.
While being questioned by Lee, Garland admitted the DOJ has prosecuted more pro-lifers than clinic arsonists, but only because pro-lifers operate in the daytime and therefore are easier to arrest than the pro-choicers who commit arson and vandalism in the night.
He maintained that the government still applies the law "equally."
In a clip of the exchange, Lee stated, "In 2022 and in the first couple months of 2023, DOJ has announced charges against 34 individuals for blocking access to or vandalizing abortion clinics and there have been over 81 reported attacks on pregnancy centers, 130 on Catholic churches since the leak of the Dobbs decision and only two individuals have been charged."

The Meritless Garland is a Domestic Terrorist.
Basically: We mostly persecute law-abiding citizens, because it’s easier and safer. Criminals scare us. And we support what the criminals are doing and want to help.
I’m not crazy about The Turtle but we owe him a huge debt of gratitude. He kept this dickhead off the SCOTUS.
“...He kept this dickhead off the SCOTUS....”
True and a yuge positive.
That being said, what has Ditch done since?
“That being said, what has Ditch done since?”
Unfortunately, not much.
Daytime … useless FBI can’t do their jobs at night. What a bunch of crap.
That is not an admission. It is an excuse and a weak one.
Why do so many Democrat Jews, like Garland, HATE CHISTIANS?
The domestic terrorists are FBI/CIA assets.
One of the 23 terrorists arrested for the Atlanta Police burning is a staff attorney for their beloved SPLC!
Antifa, BLM, etc. are all likely their assets as well.
I know of one U.S. Marshall out of his job for hitting one of their beloved azzholes in the head with a bean bag back in Portland.
Garland is walking in Demented Joes footsteps; both dangerous fools controlled by others.
That has got to be one of the worst answer to a question posed at a congressional hearing I have ever heard...along with “I am not a biologist” by that dumb judge.
So blocking a sidewalk is a worse crime than mayhem and arson. It takes a summa cum laude from Harvard to figure that one out. It's beyond the rest of us.
Teaching for 25 years in NYC schools I encountered that attitude many times. In 2000 after Bush’s visit to Bob Jones U a Jewish co workerasked how, as a Catholic, I could support Bush. He said I should travel South and experience real anti Catholic animus. I said “ Herb, if I want to experience real anti Catholic animus all I have to do is come here to the teachers’ room.” His explosion could be heard throughout the building..
LOL!!! I am married into a Jewish family.....my in laws are/were ANTI-CATHOLIC DEMOCRATS!!
Best come back ever
Garland, every night I suggest you watch your six. People are growing impatient with being on their knees while you kick sand in their faces.
The answer here is obvious. It’s also an answer the right won’t do because we like our creature comforts more than freedom.

Garland had no problem raiding Maralago in the dark of nite.
