If Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro have to go prison...so does Merrick Garland

@RepMTG is right.

@RepMTG The House has now held Merrick Garland in Contempt of Congress.

@RepMTG Congressional contempt should lead to jail.

But don’t take my word for it, listen to Democrats saying so for 3+ minutes.

So then why is the DOJ refusing to prosecute Merrick Garland?

@RepMTG ...Garland seems entirely adrift in his own department. While offering platitudes about being beyond politics, he continues to run interference for the Biden White House. He appears to be looking to close aides for direction.

@RepMTG House Republicans advanced Merrick Garland's contempt proceedings in Congress over his refusal to release the Biden audio tapes.

The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.

- Gavin Newsom

We should all feel a deep sense of grief and outrage at the terrible violence that took place in Utah today. Charlie Kirk's murder is sick and reprehensible, and our thoughts are with his family, children, and loved ones.

- Governor Gavin Newsom [California]

The attack on Charlie Kirk is appalling and unacceptable. Political violence has no place in a free society. No one should have to experience nor witness such trauma.

My thoughts are with Charlie and his family.
