Political Quotes

one of the worst aspects of the Biden administration has been the deep politicization of the Department of Justice and the FBI. We saw that with the National Association of School Boards sending a letter to the White House and to the Attorney General asking that the Biden administration target parents as domestic terrorists and use the PATRIOT Act to go after them for going to school boards and complaining about policies that are unfair to parents, including the teaching of critical race theory, including in the case of Loudoun County, a 14- year-old girl who was sexually assaulted in a bathroom, and the school covered it up. Within 4 days of receiving that letter, the Attorney General wrote a memo directing the FBI to target parents. Just this last week, the Director of the FBI testified at the Judiciary Committee that they had been interviewing multiple parents-- moms and dads--and the House has categorized it as upward of 20 moms and dads. This amendment says: Don't target parents as domestic terrorists-- The PRESIDING OFFICER. All time is expired. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority whip.
