This week, Breitbart interviewed the former Trump official Peter Navarro, one of many criminals in the ex-president’s orbit, from the Miami prison where he is serving four months for contempt of Congress. While life behind bars is difficult, Navarro boasted that his stint has been smoothed by his ties to Donald Trump, which make him something of a made man. The former president, said Navarro, is beloved not just by the guards, but by the “vast majority” of inmates as well. “If I were a Bidenite, things would be a lot tougher here — and yes, they know exactly who I am and respect the fact that I stood up for a principle and didn’t bow to the government,” he said.
One of the more unsettling things about our politics right now is the Republican Party’s increasingly open embrace of lawlessness. Even as they proclaim Trump’s innocence, Trump and his allies revel in the frisson of criminality. At his rally in the Bronx last month, for example, Trump invited onto the stage two rappers, Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, who are currently facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder and weapons possession.

I thought we loved Hitler? And Putin. And Jesus. And the KKK. And unborn babies. And those dressed-up FBI white-supremacists.
What's the narrative for today?
As Biden and company are throwing political opponents in jail-—going after grand moms praying at abortion clinics, going after parents at schoolboard meetings, sexualizing children, supporting Hamas, etc.....
The constant barrage of lies has gone way too far.
What’s a nice Irish girl like Michelle doing working for the NYT?
When did the Ny slimes start doing comedy. Viewership must be at an all time low if they are this desperate.
Donald Trump is threat to democracy, loves organized crime, and spends his time away from the limelight torturing soft, furry, cuddly puppies! And I’m sure there is more that is probably even worse!
Be careful, the Godfather movies and the The Soprano’s shows were wildly popular.
I could definitely believe that.
1 woman in that photo of troops.

the left has a monopoly on criminals.
