Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

More great work from Slade.
Even if Trump weren't weaponizing the government against his political opponents, his direct involvement would be a red flag. But Trump *is* weaponizing the federal bureaucracy against his political opponents—explicitly, openly, unapologetically so. https://t.co/7jFryz9P0S

When news broke that the IRS may have targeted Tea Party groups, Obama didn't argue that going after one's political opponents is fine because elections have consequences. He apologized. Think hard about that. https://t.co/XYCOxnDrFU

any partisan targeting is a serious scandal - no matter which political group is doing it, or which political group is targeted. https://t.co/gN54GYuo2x

"If you give government the tools to regulate political speech, the government will weaponize them for partisan gain by the party in power." So let's stop creating new weapons, shall we? https://t.co/XYCOxnDZvs
