Mike Davis, founder of the conservative group, Article III Project, demanded to know why more Republicans in the House, in state legislatures, and in state attorneys general offices weren’t doing more to shut down the Democrats’ “lawfare” against former President Donald Trump during an appearance on Real America’s Voice network host Steve Bannon’s show Wednesday.
“This is why we need the Republicans, every Republican Attorney General in the country, and every Republican district attorney in the country,” Bannon, a former top Trump adviser, said after playing a clip of Georgetown Law professor Jonathan Turley denouncing the hush money trial against the former president.
“All of the House of Representatives and the Senate ought to be on fire on this topic right now. They are leaving Trump hanging out to dry. This is one of the biggest outrages I’ve ever seen in the country. They have got for the first time in the history of this Republic. This is how irresponsible they are. They have a president of the United States in the docket right there on something that nobody can make any sense of,” Bannon said. “I don’t know why people are not more on fire with the ridiculousness, the obvious lawfare, which is working because Trump is not on the campaign trail.”
Davis went off:
We’ve been talking about this for 20 months, Steve, since the Mar-a-Lago raid. Where the hell are these Republican politicians? Where the hell are these House Republicans, who actually have subpoena power who have oversight power, who are committee chairmen, who can cut off their funding? Where the hell are these state AGs who can open their own investigations? Where the hell are other Republican politicians?
Why is it that the Article III project was the lonely voice with very few others, with Tom Fitton and very few others, for the first six months after the Mar a Lago raid?
These Republicans thought that they were going to take out Trump with this lawfare, the Democrats were going to take out Trump with this lawfare, Trump was going to go away and everything was going to go back to normal. These Republicans need to wake up.
First, Trump’s the nominee, right? He’s the nominee. Get behind him right now. But second, do you really think that these Democrats are going to stop if Trump goes away? Are you that stupid? Are you that naive?
They’re going after not only Trump, and his top aides like Bannon and Navarro and his lawyers, they’re going after January 6th defendants. It’s not just the ones who were violent on January 6th, they’re going after grandmothers who trespassed and took selfies. They’re going after parents outraged by gender chaos and the resulting rapes in high school bathrooms. They’re going after Christians, little old ladies and old men praying outside of abortion clinics while they give amnesty to BLM to Antifa, to Hamas, to abortion activists, to trans terrorists, terrorizing Catholic churches.
Wake up, Republicans. We’ve been calling for House Republicans to do Andrew Clyde’s rider to cut federal funding for this lawfare. It didn’t happen. Not only did they not do these ride, they fully funded the Biden Justice Department. They fully funded this lawfare.
Wake up, Republicans. What the hell are you doing?
We are a week and a half into Trump’s criminal trial. This Judge Merchan is a Democrat operative. He donated to Biden. His daughter, Lauren Merchan, has raised $100 million off this criminal case. Judge Merchan, if he has the chance, he will put President Trump in prison. People need to wake up. House Republicans need to wake up. State Republican attorneys general need to wake up. Republican governors need to wake up.
If they take out Trump, our republic is done. These are republic-ending tactics. It’s time to wake up and start fighting back — legally, politically, financially, fight back against this lawfare.
