Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., tried to compare the Biden administration’s weaponization of the Justice Department to the Trump administration’s effort to clean up that abuse during Wednesday’s confirmation hearing for Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.

Tillis opened his commentary by stating he was “going to ascent to the rarified air of the moral high ground for a minute.” Tillis first acknowledged that Democrats refused to speak out against the weaponization of the DOJ under the Biden administration. But he then suggested the Trump administration is now doing the same thing the Biden administration did.

“I was against that and I’m also against some of the decisions of the president,” Tillis said, referring to Democrats’ weaponization and the alleged weaponization by Republicans. “Now, my criticism of the administration with the red jersey (Republicans): January 6. I have searched Heaven and Earth and I haven’t found anything except a passing comment at a C-Span conference, so can you tell me definitively that you think that any Capitol police officer who was harmed on January 6 was a victim of a heinous crime at the hands of the person who did it?”

Blanche affirmed as much and noted individuals involved with violence were prosecuted. Tillis then resumed criticizing the current administration.

“I want leadership that says ‘we’re gonna ratchet things down and not make the heinous mistakes that the Biden administration did’. Let’s be better than them, not better at prosecuting people that maybe we shouldn’t — or take a little bit more time........
