Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) on Sunday defended the Department of Justice s (DOJ) controversial new anti-weaponization fund saying, everybody s losing their minds.
This is not new. It happened to — the — under the Obama administration after the [Internal Revenue Service (IRS)] had been sued multiple times, and they settled with groups. This has occurred before. The acting attorney general is telling everybody it is not partisan, Donalds told host Shannon Bream on Fox News Sunday.
Anybody who s been victimized by our government for political purposes, they can come — they can actually apply to the fund. And so, the dollars are there because IRS lost this case, and they settled it because they did victimize the commander-in-chief, and instead of taking the money, he said, Put it into a fund for other people, and now everybody s losing their minds. I don t understand that, he added.
