Following the FBI raid of former President Donald Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) reacted to the raid.
Governor DeSantis tweeted:
“The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves. Are 87k more IRS agents being added to the Regime’s arsenal against its foes? Banana Republic.”

DeSantis criticizes the FBI. He calls out the federal agency’s hypocrisy regarding Trump and Hunter Biden. Some conservatives urge DeSantis action on the raid.
Republican governors should protect their people from the federal government acting as political police.

Senator Marco Rubio tweeted:
“It is a common practice to use government power against political opponents, as we’ve seen it many times before from third world Marxist dictatorships.. America has never seen this before.”
Using government power to persecute political opponents is something we have seen many times from 3rd world Marxist dictatorships
But never before in America

As Cuban flags fly alongside the American flag in front of Mar-a-Lago, Marco Rubio compared the FBI’s actions to a third-world “Marxist dictatorship.” Many people have compared the FBI’s action to something that would place in a third-world country.
Governor Kristi Nem Tweeted:
“The FBI raid on President Trump’s home is an unprecedented political weaponization of the Justice Department. They’ve been after President Trump as a candidate, as President, and now as a former President. This is a violation of American values.”
The FBI raid on President Trump’s home is an unprecedented political weaponization of the Justice Department. They’ve been after President Trump as a candidate, as President, and now as a former President. Using the criminal justice system in this manner is un-American.

If the FBI wants any credibility, it can’t be partisan and biased like they are now. To those celebrating the FBI raiding Mar-a-Lago, the reaction would be the opposite if it were Hillary Clinton’s, Hunter Biden’s, or Nancy Pelosi’s home being raided. The Democrats are utter hypocrites.
Hunter Biden’s laptop showed that the “big guy” Joe Biden was involved in Hunter’s business dealings with China. Hunter also received millions from Ukraine. The FBI didn’t even blink an eye. Hunter should be the first place they look if their aim is to combat corruption. It seems clear that both the FBI and DOJ are determined to crack down on conservatives as well as anyone with a different ideological viewpoint than theirs. Every American is subject to the rule of law, no matter their political views or affiliations.
