With an incoming Democrat Congressional majority upon us, the Elitist Media is picking up the pace and very quickly carrying their water. In this case, justifying and downplaying the weaponization of government against Republicans and conservatives who dare to work for the Trump administration.
Consider this exchange between Attorney General Todd Blanche and CNN’s Dana Bash on State of the Union:

DANA BASH: Thank you so much for being here this morning, sir. President Trump said -- quote -- "I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act" -- end quote. Are you going to follow that order and investigate Democratic members of Congress? And what is the criminal act you think he's referring to?
TODD BLANCHE: Well, what we have seen over the past several days and even over the past several weeks are outright threats, many -- many by elected members of Congress and some senators against anybody that's conservative and anybody that happens to be a Republican.
They have threatened donors. They have threatened individuals who are in college and might want to work for conservative institutions or for a conservative government or for President Trump. And that is extremely troubling, and it should be troubling to everybody in this country.
And over the last several days, we have seen the rhetoric even rise up, to the point where they're already -- before they're even in power, they're already talking about investigations and impeachments, with no basis, no facts, just out there running around. That should be something that President Trump is very concerned about, and certainly I am as well.
BASH: Yes, well, they are- they are talking about investigation as part of their oversight role that is prescribed by the Constitution, which you know is very well laid out. Is that what you're concerned about?
BLANCHE: Wait. Hold on a second. Sorry.
BASH: Or you're concerned about something else?
BLANCHE: Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no, no, no, no. They have a very unique role in oversight. I agree. Have you been listening to the rhetoric the past couple days? You honestly think that all they're doing is talking about their oversight obligations when they're talking about going after basically every member of the Cabinet, they're talking about impeachments, they're talking about going after companies, private companies who happen to have made investments in this country over the past couple of years?That is not oversight. I welcome oversight. Oversight is exactly something they should be doing.
(CROSSTALK)
BASH: So are you saying that you are going to investigate them? And what you just described, is there a crime there?
BLANCHE: Well, what I just -- it depends on what's said. So, yes, there could be. You have free speech in this country. You are- you are allowed to be critical of President Trump, of me, of this administration. But when the threats become so vile and so dangerous that you are telling people in college that they better be careful if they want to work in the Trump administration because somebody will come after them, at some point, you have to draw the line.
And I'm not saying that -- necessarily that every case is going to be prosecuted, but we have a real problem at this -- in this country if a young person in college is getting threatened by a United States senator that, if they go to work for President Trump, they're going to be subjected to investigations and lawyers.
You have an incoming chairman threatening without -- they're not even in charge yet -- saying "Lawyer up" to anybody in particular. So, if that doesn't bother you, if that doesn't bother your viewers, then we really need to kind of wake up in this country, because it certainly bothers me.
Blanche makes an argument detailing his legitimate concerns over the potential weaponization of congressional oversight against young conservatives entering the Trump administration, as exposed by Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, and Bash’s first response was to gaslight Blanche.
Blanche stops her and details the potential persecution via abuse of congressional oversight, and Bash’s response is to ask what the crime is. There is no interest in considering Blanche’s arguments. There is only the instinct to deflect, deny, downplay and gaslight.
The Elitist Media never did cover Slotkin’s statements wherein she clearly threatened weaponization of government against the political opposition. This goes for CNN, as well. But the Attorney General of the United States defending innocents against wanton persecution is the real problem.
The next Congress hasn’t been sworn in yet, but the Elitist Media’s already going all out to downplay actual weaponization of government. Regime Media is roaring back.
