More deeply disturbing, unAmerican, thuggish behavior from the Trump administration, this time directed against Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA07), who says it’s Trump “punishing people who believe in democracy,” also “weaponizing government and lying to intimidate and silence public servants like me, and it’s not going to work.” Just appalling, but good for Rep. Vindman for fighting back – and we all need to have his back!
Vindman Condemns Blatant Lies and Intimidation from US Attorney Pushing Trump’s Retribution Campaign
WASHINGTON – Congressman Eugene Vindman (VA-07) condemns an unhinged letter from the acting U.S. Attorney of the District of Columbia. A Washington Post investigative reporter just released an in-depth story on this topic titled D.C. U.S. attorney targets Ukraine whistleblower Rep. Vindman.
“Since he’s become President, Trump’s been focused on weaponizing government and lying to intimidate and silence public servants like me, and it’s not going to work. He is punishing people who believe in democracy like my constituents – FBI agents, prosecutors, military officials, federal workers, and intelligence agency leaders who disagree with him. It’s dangerous and deeply disturbing. He’s angry that we stand in the way and will hold him accountable.”
“While Trump promised that his number one priority would be to lower prices, he is instead spending his time focused on spewing lies and harassing people that serve this country honorably.”
“How is enacting a retribution campaign going to help lower the cost of living for folks in the Seventh District and across the country? Spoiler alert, it is not.”
“Those who wrote and encouraged this weird attempt at intimidation are lying.”
