Tony Perkins Tells Newsmax: DOJ’s Weaponization Tears America Apart
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins has accused Democrats of “tearing apart the very fabric” of America by weaponizing federal agencies such as the Department of Justice and FBI. Perkins claims that the left’s politicization of these institutions is leading to the delegitimization of government, which he views as a dangerous consequence. He contrasts this approach with that of former President Donald Trump’s administration, arguing that they refrained from going after political enemies such as Hillary Clinton because they understood the need for national unity. Perkins expresses concern that the division caused by the Biden administration’s actions may escalate tensions and make events like the January 6 Capitol riot look mild in comparison. The article also mentions multiple ongoing legal cases involving Trump, with him being indicted or facing investigation in Florida, New York, and Georgia.
Perkins highlights the difference in governance between Trump and Biden, particularly with regard to issues like religious freedom in China. He suggests that evangelicals view Trump’s policies positively, citing the tough stance he took on China’s religious freedom practices. Perkins concludes by referencing the nonprofit organization, Family Research Council, for which he serves as president. The organization aims to promote a family-centered philosophy in public life and was founded in 1983. The content is attributed to Newsmax, a rapidly growing cable news channel.
