Liberals' FBI trust is a real gut buster
[NYPOST] It is curious that the biggest fans of the FBI today are liberals. You hear them on MSNBC, singing from the same song sheet as former disgraced CIA and FBI operatives who have been transformed into esteemed and well-paid TV experts, shilling for whatever unseen forces motivate them, or creating confusing narratives to cover their tracks. At the same time, a majority of Americans, 53%, view the FBI as "Joe The Big GuyBiden  ...46th president of the U.S. S I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass.... ’s personal Gestapo," according to a new Rasmussen poll out Thursday. The agency’s standing is at rock bottom among Republicans and conservatives, and not too healthy with independents and moderates. The poll, conducted on Monday and Tuesday, one week after the extraordinary FBI raid on former President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... ’s Florida mansion, shows just 50% of all voters hold a favorable view of the federal law-enforcement agency, down from 60% in May 2020. But while just 30% of Republicans and 45% of independents feel positive about the FBI, 75% of Democrats and 81% of liberals are big fans. Since the Mar-a-Lago raid, 70% of Republicans say they have less trust in the FBI than they used to, while 50% of Democrats trust it more. ’POLITICIZED THUGS’ Among Republicans, a staggering 76% agree with the Roger Stone quote that there is "a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI who are using the FBI . . . as Joe Biden’s personal Gestapo." About half (49%) of independents and a sizable 37% of Democrats also view the FBI as Biden’s Gestapo, while 72% of liberals disagree. Liberals are happy because a politicized agency is coming after their ideological enemies, particularly their bête noire, Trump. It’s a stark turnaround from the days of decrying the FBI’s efforts to target Martin Luther King. The left has discarded any pretense of caring about civil liberties or injustice and instead sneers at conservatives who they claim are the ones who have jettisoned their core principles and now are "anti-cop."
