Prominent “Never Trump” Republican Joe Walsh reluctantly admitted the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s home may have “pissed off” moderate Republicans into supporting him for 2024.
Breitbart News reported that FBI agents raided the home of the ex-president in Florida Monday to seize classified documents. According to multiple sources, the FBI wanted to see the papers he had left the White House.
” These are difficult times for our Nation as my lovely home in Palm Beach Florida, Mar-A-Lago, is under siege and raided by large groups of FBI agents.” Trump stated in a statement. Trump stated that nothing like this had ever occurred to any President of the United States prior .”

While Democrats, Never Trumpers and far-left activists celebrated FBI raiding former president’s home – an unprecedented event – Joe Walsh stated that many GOP voters told him the raid sparked such anger that they would support Trump, despite their previous reservations about his candidacy.
“Republican insiders, donors, & elected officials are seriously bumming out tonight because this FBI raid pretty much locked up the 2024 nomination for Trump,” he tweeted.
” I’ve had so many GOP voters tell me tonight that while they were cooling down a little over the past months, they are still passionately and enthusiastically supporting Trump. He said that he was only the messenger.
Republican insiders, donors, & elected officials are seriously bumming out tonight because this FBI raid pretty much locked up the 2024 nomination for Trump. No pun intended.

I’ve had so many GOP voters tell me tonight that while they were cautious in their opinions of Trump over the past months, they are now energized and enthusiastic about supporting him.
I’m only the messenger.

Joe Walsh believed, despite his fears of Donald Trump’s candidacy for the presidency, that the rule of law and the pursuit of justice were more important than any political consequences.
” Yes, his supporters are going to be upset. There will be violence. He said that this would strengthen his position within the Republican Party. All of that matters is the pursuit of justice. .”
The only thing that matters is justice and the rule of the law.
Yes, his supporters are going to be upset. There will be violence. This will help him to be more successful within the Republican Party. All of that matters is the pursuit of justice. Only justice and the rule of the law are important here.

The rhetoric from Trump and his media cheerleaders as well as Republican elected officials is dangerous and irresponsible. From January 6, they have not learned anything. They aren’t interested. They are inflaming millions. Violence will ensue.
