The idea that the DOJ is going after "moms protesting Critical Race Theory," as JD Vance puts it, is based on a DOJ memo that doesn't mention CRT. Feels like there's been a politically convenient conflation between CRT protests and anti-max/vax protests. justice.gov/ag/page/file/1…
Obviously everybody should be skeptical when the DOJ says "we're going to investigate this," but like, check back in a month and see who's gotten a visit from the feds.
Keep in mind, conservatives are reacting to what they see as an overly permissive law enforcement response to left-wing protests, most recently the bird-dogging of Sinema etc. The feds aren't rounding up those protesters - but they're not rounding up anti-CRT parents, either.
Still, you see a version of this with the "Justice for Jan. 6 prisoners" campaign. The premise is that rioters were let off easy in 2020, but the book is being thrown at Jan. 6 protesters.
IRL there were tons of rioter/protester arrests in 2020. forbes.com/sites/robertha…
