MSNOW is once again pretending that political weaponization only becomes a problem when President Donald Trump tries to fix it.
On Saturday, MSNOW attacked Trump’sproposed$1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund, framing it as a corrupt taxpayer-funded payout to “insurrectionists.”
The fund was reportedlycreatedas part of a settlement connected to Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS and is intended to compensate Americans who say they were unfairly targeted by the Biden administration’s justice system.
That is exactly why the left hates it.
For years, the Biden administration, Democrat prosecutors, and their allies in the media treated political prosecution as normal. The January 6 defendants were held up as examples, not merely prosecuted under the law. Many were used as political symbols.
Some committed crimes and deserved legal consequences. That point should not be ignored. But the issue is not whether every person at the Capitol on January 6 behaved properly. Rather, it is whether the American justice system handed out fair, equal, and proportionate punishment.
In many cases, the answer is obviously no.
The left wants every January 6 defendant placed into the same category. Violent offenders, nonviolent protesters, people who entered the Capitol, people who were swept into massive investigations, and people pressured into plea deals are all treated as part of one giant “insurrection.”
That framing allows the media to avoid the real question: Were these defendants treated the same way other Americans would have been treated for comparable conduct?
MSNOWdoes not want to answer that question because the answer destroys the narrative.
