With some conservatives questioning his silence, Lt. Gov. Patrick finally weighs in on FBI raid of Trump home

Patrick's statement simply parroted national commentators: “If Democrats will weaponize DOJ, FBI, IRS against a former President, they will think nothing of weaponizing them against the American people. That means you!”

After two days filled with right wing anger over the FBI raid at the Florida home of former President Donald Trump, his most outspoken supporter in Texas finally spoke up.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who has chaired Trump’s campaign in Texas and brags even more than Ag Commissioner Sid Miller about Trump’s endorsement, tweeted a brief statement that quickly pivoted to criticism over expansion of the ranks of IRS agents supported by Democrats.

Here is Patrick’s tweet in full:

“If Democrats will weaponize DOJ, FBI, IRS against a former President, they will think nothing of weaponizing them against the American people. That means you! Biden’s wrecking of the economy is nothing compared to the pain of 87,000 new IRS auditors in their new spending bill.”

Right wing enforcement groups like Texas Scorecard, funded by Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks, expressed frustration about Patrick's perceived hesitance to defend Mr. Trump. Michael Quinn Sullivan, the longtime spokesman for Dunn, said “Finally, a comment from Lt Gov Dan Patrick.”
