Republicans roasted Attorney General Merrick Garland on social media after a video of him doing a victory lap while leaving the Department of Justice became viral.
In the clip, which was posted on Friday via X, a celebratory Garland walked and thanked cheering department staffers while the outgoing AG exited out of the building.
But, in response, prominent critics of Garland blasted the attorney general and his record.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) ripped Garland in a fiery X post.
“Merrick Garland has left @TheJusticeDept for the FINAL TIME,” Donalds said. “His DOJ attacked political opponents. His DOJ was unprecedentedly weaponized.
“This disgraceful era of brazen political lawfare is FINALLY OVER.”
After being appointed attorney general in 2021, Garland, a longtime federal appeals court judge, found himself continuously in hot water during his four-year tenure.
Republicans frequently criticized Garland for weaponizing the DOJ for political purposes after he launched an investigation into President-elect Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents in 2022 — a case that was eventually dismissed by a Florida judge two years later in July 2024.
The attorney general even admitted he “personally approved” a raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago for the controversial probe.
Critics also roasted Garland for his treatment of Catholics — with Republicans saying the DOJ was “targeting people of faith”

I will have the common courtesy to give Mitch a reach-around just for blocking Garland
Even a broken (analog) clock is right twice a day.
"The commie was supposed to be a Supreme. Lifetime. Mitch stopped all that."
“The commie was supposed to be a Supreme. Lifetime. Mitch stopped all that.”
____________
Mitch didn’t stop his confirmation. Mitch is a crony capitalist who is utterly disgusting.
Garland is PURE EVIL!!
Should use facial recognition to identify and fire every one of the toadies cheering him.
Here’s hoping that he’s finally traded that Supreme Seat into an AG seat that will get him a cot in a 6X8 cell clock room.
That little goblin strutting through the hall ... disgusting!
GREAT IDEA!!!!
They should find a reason to raid his residence as well as biden’s
Facial recognition is a useful thing.
Merrick Garland did far more damage to this country as Attorney General than he ever would have done as a Supreme.
As one of 9 Supreme Court Justices, he would have been checked, and in the minority.
They need to get the names of all those people that were applauding him.
Why do I have this picture in my mind of a prisoner, during the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution, bound in chains and riding in a cart, on the way to the guillotine?
“If it were not for the honor of it all, I would just as soon walk.”
No he would have grown the minority into a majority over time
Remove his clearances
That pos is the poster child example of why tar and feathering should still be a thing.
All those that cheered should be transferred to siberia
If all those that were cheering him are not rooted out and transferred Trump will be sabatoged again!
