Representative Ted Lieu (D-CA) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Alex Witt Reports” that “MAGA Republicans” defending Donald Trump after the FBI raid of his Florida estate are engaged in “cultish, un-American, treasonous behavior.”
Witt said, “What is interesting is listening to Trump defenders. They have constantly shifted the goalposts by first off demanding the release of a search warrant and then the release of an affidavit. Now they want sensitive government secrets to be declassified and just put out there in the public.”
On Fox News, former George W. Bush administration official John Yoo said, “Why not declassify the documents they actually took from President Trump and show the public what they work?”
Lieu said, “John Yoo’s comments are insane. What he is saying is, he would want top secret documents and documents that are beyond top secret to appear on the front pages of the New York Times, on your show so that I can see them my dentist, my neighbor and the Russians and the Iranians, solely to protect Donald Trump. This is cultish, un-American, treasonous behavior. You cannot just declassify all these documents and put it into the public domain simply to prevent Donald Trump from prosecution. That is a very treasonous argument, any MAGA Republican making it should be ashamed of themselves.”
He added, “He knew that they were classified, and he intentionally took them. I also note that if the MAGA Republican argument is that these should be declassified, then they have got to ask themselves, why do we want to names and locations and against these of U.S. spies out there in Vanity Fair? That is an insane argument.”

This sub-humanization is where genocides come from.
Hey Ted how’s you pal Ed Buck doing ?
These folks will never stop, but they are keeping Trump in the news as a martyr and will re-elect him.
That being said, there is a point in there that has not been discussed. if President Trump's argument is that those documents are all declassified, then that makes them declassified for everyone. It's not like every other copy held anywhere else in the government remains classified. They are all unclassified and could be freely disclosed by anyone.
The 4th Amendment to the US Constitution is “treasonous”. Who knew?
Obsessive anti-Trump cult
Gaslight Gaslight Gaslight.
Dissent is patriotic - Hillary Clinton.
Pot...kettle...black
This Ted dude, he ain't right in the head.
Typical DS operative. Label those who are ON TO THEM.....as ‘cultish’, ‘cult’, etc.
I’m afraid the system is broken; these leftist despots obtained power, then broke it.
I’m not sure how they can be gotten rid of now.
"VIDAL (loftily): As far as I’m concerned, the only pro- or crypto-Nazi I can think of is yourself. Failing that—
SMITH: Let’s, let’s not call names—
VIDAL: Failing that, I can only say that—
BUCKLEY (snarling, teeth bared): Now listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I’ll sock you in your goddam face, and you’ll stay plastered—"
Exactly!! I am so sick of this tactic by Democrats. When W was President, the Dem bumper sticker was "DIssent is Patriotic". But when Obama got elected, dissent became "racist". Then Trump got elected and "Resist!/The Resistance" became the mantra. Biden gets elected, and now dissent becomes treasonous.
It is repeated like clockwork going way back. Every single Republican is characterized as someone evil who must be resisted, but we're all told to "unify" behind any Democrat who gets elected.
Communism and killing fields go hand in hand.
lieu is a loon.
It’s another Hoax to distract from Biden’s sky rocketing inflation, high gas prices, food prices and illegals flooding our borders.
These eff’n Democrats don’t understand the constitution, the law or that the people they hate so much are heavily armed.
