Democrats got some bad news about the FBI that left Donald Trump dancing for joy
Donald Trump wants to give the FBI its biggest overhaul in decades.
The Left is digging in their heels to stop it.
And Democrats got some bad news about the FBI that left Donald Trump dancing for joy.
Democrats are gunning to stop Trump’s FBI nominee
President-elect Donald Trump’s election in 2016 exposed deep-rooted problems in the FBI.
The FBI pushed the thoroughly discredited Russian collusion hoax against him and worked to censor information on the internet like Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell during the 2020 Election.
President Joe Biden weaponized the FBI against his political opponents.
Traditional Catholics, parents protesting Marxist indoctrination at school board meetings, and grandmas who peacefully protested on January 6 were in the crosshairs of Biden’s FBI.
Trump sent a message that he was serious about reforming the FBI when he nominated former acting Director of National Intelligence Kash Patel to serve as the new director.
Democrats are terrified of serious reforms coming to the FBI.
They’re trying to sink Patel’s nomination by creating a backlash against him with a smear campaign claiming he’s an unqualified hack.
Democrats might have hoped they could spark a public backlash against his nomination, but CNN revealed the reputation of the FBI has crumbled.
Public opinion of the FBI has collapsed after its weaponization
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten was shocked at the collapse in the public’s support for the FBI during a segment on CNN News Central.
“I think Patel has real reason to believe that Americans would go along with changes he might potentially make at the FBI, and there’s a reason why Donald Trump feels like he can make this change,” Enten said.
A Gallup poll found that the FBI’s public approval rating is at its lowest point in decades.
59% of Americans thought that the FBI was an “excellent or good job” in 2014.
That number collapsed to 41% this year.
Support for the FBI has undergone a steady collapse since Trump was first elected.
“Look at where we are today. My goodness gracious. Just 41% of Americans think the ‘FBI is doing an excellent or good job.’ That is by far the lowest number this century,” Enten explained. “The bottom line is, during the Trump administration, obviously there were the investigations into Donald Trump, you saw a little bit of drop then and then post January 6th. Look at that drop, 50% now 41%. My goodness gracious.”
Enten highlighted the staggering collapse in support for the FBI by Republicans since 2014.
“Among Republicans, is the FBI ‘doing an excellent or good job’ — this is where you really see the drop off. You go back to 2014 … It was 62%. 2019, look at that, 46%. 2022, 29%. Now we’re tied for the lowest point this century among Republicans at 26%,” Enten said. “That is a drop of more than half since 2014.”
Even Democrat support for the FBI has dropped.
Kash Patel has public opinion on his side as he tries to come and clean up the corruption at the FBI.
