It looks like McCarthy and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise coordinated their message—and it took them some time to figure it out:

Let’s be clear about what’s happening: Joe Biden is weaponizing his Department of Justice against his own political rival.

This sham indictment is the continuation of the endless political persecution of Donald Trump.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy weighs in: To him, “the rule of law” means Donald Trump should be above the law.

Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America.

It is unconscionable for a President to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades.

I, and every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with President Trump…

With the historic news that Donald Trump has been federally indicted, reportedly on seven criminal counts, congressional Republicans got right down to the business of rolling over, back flipping, and prostrating themselves to the Don yet again. It’s like breathing to them now.

The House GOP Majority sets the somber tone.

WITCH HUNT.

If a president can’t mishandle classified information, who can?

If the people in power can jail their political opponents at will, we don’t have a republic

Thoughts and prayers.

Sad day for America. God Bless President Trump.

(Jingles keys)

President Trump is indicted on the day we unveiled significant findings related to Joe Biden’s corruption.

Makes you wonder.

The “But her emails” contingent weighs in…

The phony Boxes Hoax indictment is an attempt to distract the American public from the millions of dollars in bribes that the Biden Crime Family received from foreign nationals.

This scheme won’t succeed. President Donald Trump will be back in the White House and Joe Biden will…

JOE BIDEN KEPT CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS IN HIS GARAGE.

— Congressman Troy E. Nehls (@RepTroyNehls) June 9, 2023

I never dreamed that the United States could resemble a banana republic like it is tonight. President Biden is yet again abusing his power to indict the leader of the opposition party in a clear political move to distract from his own crimes. (1/2)

Guessing this was ChatGPT work (long).

Democrats must literally shake with sweats when they see amazing packed out Trump rallies and overwhelming winning poll numbers week after week.

They must awake in the night with panic at the thoughts of us winning in 2024.

Their heads must ache painfully from never ending… pic.twitter.com/W8GallYAeH
