Dem ⁣Rep Says Quiet Part⁣ Out Loud About Who Is⁤ Really in ‌Charge of ‌Checks and Balances in America

Democratic ‍Rep. Kweisi Mfume of Maryland should really brush up on the ⁣U.S. Constitution, in particular ⁣the part about‍ the branches ⁣of government and their ‍functions.

He might learn something the ⁣rest of the country learned in the fifth grade ‌— ⁤that the executive, legislative⁤ and‌ judicial branches were designed by⁢ the Founders ⁤to ensure ⁤no single ⁣branch obtained too much power.

Mfume⁤ fumed during‍ a ‍House Oversight Committee ⁤hearing on Wednesday after two ⁤IRS whistleblowers accused the Department⁢ of Justice of obstructing⁢ justice. He ⁣claimed it was the job of⁣ the⁣ DOJ, FBI and IRS to provide “checks ‍and balances.”

“I don’t ⁢like these attacks on the ⁤Department of Justice, the FBI, the IRS as ‌if they are somehow⁣ anti-U.S.⁤ agencies,” Mfume said.

“Those agencies‌ keep this democracy in check,” he continued. “They provide ⁤the checks and they provide the balances.”

Please go read the ⁢Constitution. It’s ⁣not ⁤the job ⁢of the DOJ, FBI, or ⁣IRS to “keep⁣ democracy ⁢in⁢ check” or to “provide the‍ checks and ⁣the balances.” @RepKweisiMfume said ⁤the quiet part out⁣ loud. This is how‍ President Biden’s allies view the job⁣ of the ‍DOJ. pic.twitter.com/ahF5dlKKNB

Conservative‍ commentator Greg Price, who shared the ⁢clip⁤ on ‍Twitter, offered ⁢a solid take on ‍Mfume’s⁢ inane comments.

“Think about what‍ he⁣ just said.⁤ In his mind,⁤ and the minds of most Democrats, we’re not a constitutional republic with three‍ branches of⁣ government accountable⁤ to the people,” Price wrote. “We should instead⁤ be ruled by un-elected bureaucrats and⁣ intelligence agencies who do their‌ bidding.”

Price concluded, “Mfume just completely⁤ epitomized everything that is ‍wrong with our⁢ government.”

Others also piled ⁣on ⁢and informed the former NAACP ⁤president⁣ about the structure of the U.S. ‍government, which was‌ not intended to be run by rogue bulldogs ⁤who do not answer⁤ to‍ voters.

Last time⁣ I checked,‍ I ⁢don’t recall ever ⁢seeing anything ‌in ⁢the‍ Constitution about⁣ DOJ/FBI/IRS existing to⁢ “keep Democracy in⁣ check” and “provide the checks ‌and the balances,” but at least the⁢ Dems are finally being honest ‍about who really runs things in the DC Swamp.⁣ https://t.co/z3hq1SDCSr

At⁤ almost every Congressional⁣ hearing⁤ now, House Dems‌ indignantly complain‌ when FBI is criticized,⁢ insisting the Bureau ‍is noble and central to the integrity of our‌ country.

They do the same whenever the CIA or⁢ NSA are mentioned. These agencies are Dems’ political allies. https://t.co/auAblqIAx6

The ⁢ugly ⁤truth is that many Democrats likely support the complete and ‌total politicization of federal agencies.

Former President Donald Trump announced‌ on ⁣Tuesday that an indictment ⁣is coming his way in relation to ⁤a DOJ investigation into the events of Jan.⁢ 6, 2021.

This means that a ⁤former president and the odds-on favorite to win the Oval Office‍ again⁢ in⁤ 2024‍ will face a third indictment this calendar year.

Meanwhile, President ‌Joe Biden’s formerly crack-addicted, tax-dodging son who has ⁢been credibly accused of participating⁤ in a bribery⁤ scheme while⁤ his father was vice president is ‍a⁤ regular visitor at the White House.

Will⁢ the DOJ,⁣ FBI and IRS keep him‌ in check?
