Imagine if it was Barack Obama With Stolen Documents.
The right wing meltdown would be unprecedented.
As news of the FBI’s search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago continues to dominate the news cycle, watching the right wing response has been interesting to say the least. Whether it comes from their pundits on FOX or OAN, or Representatives like Marjorie Greene or Paul Gosar, it’s been clear that yet again, those who have planted themselves firmly in Donald Trump’s corner over the years have not hesitated to up the ante and even incite violence.
Given what the right wing has devolved into even within just the past few years, it should come as no surprise that a rabid Trump supporter literally attempted to breach the FBI office in Cincinnati and was killed in an arm standoff in a cornfield not long after.
As all of this unfolds, it’s sort of surreal to think about what the reaction would be like on the right wing if the roles were reversed. Imagine if Barack Obama had stolen classified documents, or even allegedly done so, and was under investigation for it like Donald Trump. Imagine if one of his supporters had then attempted to breach an FBI office and was involved in a stand off with the police afterwards. Imagine, as has been reported, that it was nuclear documents Obama was accused of stealing.
