BATTLE FOR NY-17: Lawler vs Conley [w/ Cait Conley]

Published | Video Starts at 10:35

You know, to your point, even at the beginning, like within the first few days of this administration, we saw this president issuing executive orders targeting former Republicans in his first term who failed to, you know, show the loyalty that Donald Trump demanded. We saw the Department of Justice go after political opposition like my own Attorney General Tish James. Unfounded. Same thing. James Cony. These were cases that courts threw out because they were unfounded. The weaponization of various elements of the executive branch that we are seeing cannot become normalized, cannot become acceptable. (10:35–10:42)
