After the FBI raided former President Donald Trump’s home on Monday, many Americans worried that our federal government had degraded into a banana republic, using systems of justice for partisan attacks against its political opponents.
“If it feels as though all the institutions are set up in opposition to one political party and to one guy, how do you think that’s going to work out,” asked political commentator Ben Shapiro. “Is that going to allow us to move forward as a country, or is it going to rip apart the country?”
Others, however, took a different approach to the controversy. Several political elites, in particular, praised the attack.
Former Barack Obama campaign chair John Cooper tweeted, "I slept great last night. Donald Trump, not so much."
"Trump incited a terrorist attack on our Capitol- his house being raided is nothing compared to what he deserves," asserted CNN contributor Dean Obeidallah.
Perhaps the crudest celebration of the raid came from the Trump-hating late-night host Stephen Colbert.
