Fury at Manhattan’s Bragg over Looming Trump Charges Dominates House GOP Retreat: ‘Stop Going After People Because You Have Political Differences’
Breitbart ^ | 19 Mar 2023 Orlando, FL | MATTHEW BOYLE

ORLANDO, Florida — U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy lit into leftist Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg at a press conference as House Republicans gathered to discuss and formulate their 2023 agenda plans, with looming likely charges from Bragg against former President Donald Trump coming this week.

Asked by Breitbart News during the press conference, as the House GOP wrapped the first day of its three-day retreat, what he would say to the 75 million Americans who voted for Trump in the 2020 presidential election, McCarthy said his message is even broader than that.

“I wouldn’t just talk to 75 million Americans — I would talk to 330 million Americans,” McCarthy said. “I would say it doesn’t matter what side of the issue you’re on. It doesn’t matter if this was President Trump or if this was a Democrat. It should be equal justice in America. And stop going after people because you have political differences. I see people all the time who I have political differences with. I see people all the time who I have political differences with. I respect their opinion. I may disagree with it. But why would you ever try to use the law for it? It goes directly against everything this Manhattan DA has professed. He brags about lowering felonies to misdemeanors as a prosecutor. We’ve watched crime in New York where people are afraid to walk the streets. We’ve watched campaigns. I will tell you one of the reasons we won races in New York is based upon this DA, of not protecting the citizens of New York — and now he’s spending his time on this? The statute of limitations are gone. It doesn’t matter what side you’re on. This is the type of thing America hates and divides us and is wrong.”

The silence of Meatball Ron (and his paid DesSantian influencers) is illustrative. He is a craven and cowardly creature- even Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney have more integrity than this political carpetbagger.

Because you have political differences? C’mon,boys and girls...you can do better than that! How about “because the guy being charged is poised to soon expose the massive crimes of the democrat Party's “Royal Family”!

Why is this not grounds for being disbarred? s/ Our entire Republics governing bodies have abandoned law entirely and are simply pilfering whats left...So sad to see blatant communist tactics being tolerated and law officers and judges allow it...ever dawn on them that this is the only place we got to live?

“House GOP retreat”

That sounds about right.

Maybe it is time to be less tolerant to people whose political difference with you is that they want to destroy you.

Bragg is a dupe. Soros is behind all this. His man directing Bragg is the NYU law professor Weissman who was Mueller’s bulldog. He failed to nail Trump with the phony Russian collusion hoax. Hopefully Bragg will be stupid enough to have a press conference and someone will ask him if Weissman is or has served as a consultant to the DA’s office. His reaction will be priceless.

He means we shouldn’t walk into a trap and get set up by the FBI like 1/6.
