Ex-acting DNI Grenell calls politics in 2020 'a fight between Washington and the rest of America'
Fox News ^ | June 08 2020 | Charles Creitz

Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Monday that his time in the Trump administration has shown him that the great political struggle is no longer between Republicans and Democrats, but between the District of Columbia and the rest of the U.S.

In his first TV interview since leaving the administration, Grenell explained a tweet he posted Saturday in response to criticism of Trump from former Defense Secretary James Matts.

"The fact of the matter is," Grenell said, "we have a real problem in Washington, D.C., because it’s a system that it no longer is Republicans and Democrats pushing against each other to create good policy. It’s a fight between Washington and the rest of America."

When all government ...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821

Jefferson warned us 200 yrs ago but unless we get passed this "Democrat vs Republican" kabuki theater our country is lost.

Just what party does he think the District Of Corruption is? Seems like it's only Republicans getting indicted and half the time on bogus charges at that.

Grenell is 100% correct here. I’ve been saying for several years now that the underlying political conflict in this country is not Democrat vs. Republican, but globalist vs. nationalist.
