Yesterday, Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he was questioned about his department’s decision to send armed S.W.A.T.-style agents to the home of a sole pro-life protester to arrest him – even after he had offered to turn himself in voluntarily. The AG claimed the “safest” way to bring this peaceful protester in was with a battalion of armed agents. That’s the safest way? I don’t know about you, but I’m terrified to ask what Garland would consider a dangerous way. To make matters worse, the pro-lifer was acquitted of all charges. There was absolutely no justification to treat him this way. He was innocent.
The truth is if Garland really wanted to – if he took his job seriously and wasn’t just trying to curry favor with his radical overlords – he could find these criminal perpetrators tout de suite. Which means he’s choosing not to. After all, abortion giants like Planned Parenthood donated millions to the Biden campaign as well as many other lawmakers on the Left. So if any of Planned Parenthood’s pro-life competition actually does get blown up, or a few pro-life workers get scared away from going to work, or worse, so be it? Is that just the cost of doing the Left’s political business?
ACLJ Senior Counsel for Global Affairs and former Director of the CIA Mike Pompeo joined us and echoed the same idea that Garland is choosing to kowtow to the abortion lobby:
"These are political decisions being made by senior leaders on how to prosecute and whom to prosecute. It is not the absence of cameras. It’s not the time of day that these things are taking place. This is a decision being built and filtered through the bureaucracy in the Department of Justice and perhaps at the FBI as well about which cases are more important to them, and these are not pro-life people. These are folks who have supported the abortion movement for an awfully long time in their political lives and in the rest of their lives, and this is now emanating in our most sacred space, this important space where we’re supposed to do equal justice under the law. I thought his [Garland’s] performance yesterday both reflected the politicization of the Attorney General’s office, and was not representative of the best things that America knows need to happen. It’s indecent what he said yesterday."
So the Biden Administration is choosing not to lift a finger to bring these domestic terrorists to justice – willful inaction that could get innocent pro-life medical workers AND PATIENTS killed – but it will send nearly 30 armed agents to arrest one peaceful pro-life protester to shut him up. This is where the Biden Administration has taken us.
