Republicans are all about performance art and grandiose acts designed to demonstrate their fidelity to Donald Trump and their abhorance of the United States Constitution.  Enter Georgia GOP Congressman Andrew Clyde, the censured MAGAt who repeatedly called the January 6th Republican-led domestic terrorist attack on Congress just “tourist visit” even though he was photographed helping to barricade the doors of the House chamber to block the “tourists” that day.

Now Clyde wants to take the weaponization of his government position to a new extreme, crafting legislation to defund every one of the criminal investigations into Donald Trump happening around the nation, even those state-level investigations that don’t get federal funding.  Per Roll Call, Clyde intends to introduce legislation that will cut off funds for Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office, as well as two prosecutors that aren’t using federal funds to prosecute Donald Trump for his actions.   Clyde believes he can defund Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s offices because Clyde desires to weaponize funding sent to municipalities to fight crime.

“Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars have no place funding the radical Left’s nefarious election interference efforts,” Clyde said in a statement without acknowledging the efforts by his fellow Republicans to, like himself, try to undermine the public’s faith in the Biden Administration and more widely, into law enforcement efforts investigating the ongoing criminal enterprise by the titular head of the Republican Party.
