Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin defended Trump politicizing the Department of Justice by praising how “very open and transparent” Trump has been with the American people.
Mullin, who’s in the running along with Tommy Tuberville and Marsha Blackburn for dumbest members of the United States Senate, was asked by CNN’s Dana Bash this Sunday about the Truth Social post Trump wrote to Pam Bondi —which reads like an accidental confession — where Trump pressured Bondi to start prosecuting his political enemies, and Mullin, of course, was all-in:
BASH: I wanted to ask you about one other thing very quickly about the president making a pretty remarkable statement on his TRUTH Social post saying — addressed to Pam Bondi, his attorney general, saying: “I reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying essentially the same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff, Letitia? They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is being done.”
He’s asking his attorney general in a public way to go after his political enemies, very open about it. You’re OK with that?
