Trump Appointee Has Ties to Person of Unspeakable Beliefs

He was a member of the KKK back in 1946, seven years before he was elected to Congress. He also opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as did every Senator from the South including both Senators from Florida (Holland and Smathers). That being said Robert Byrd did change and received an award from the NAACP. Also let's not forget that in 2022 the Democrats in Congress tried to enact a law strengthening the Voting Rights Act. It was blocked by the Republicans who have become the new Dixiecrats.

Apparently Martin has had a long history of problems other than that whole Nazi sympathizer thing. Abuse of power, attacking perceived enemies, ignoring the law ... sounds like a Trump kind of guy.

What a joke. Very fitting for this administration though.

Trump eying Fox News host Jeanine Pirro for top prosecutor in DC

 

BRB, need to go open a wine/liquor store for her and Hegseth in DC and then never, ever drive into DC again.

 

In addition to Trump's most important criterion, experience as a Fox News infotainment star, she actually has prosecutorial experience as the former DA of Westchester County, NY. She also referred to the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election as a hoax and called Robert Mueller a traitor, both positives in the world of MAGA.
