Fake News Reporters Bow Their Heads in Shame as Acting AG Blanche Calls Them Out to Their Faces [WATCH]

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche addressed accusations that the Department of Justice is being used for political purposes, pushing back on those claims and pointing to actions taken during the previous administration as the basis for his response.

Speaking during remarks to reporters, Blanche challenged the framing of current DOJ efforts as improper.

“That is supposedly that when we talk about ending weaponization, as if that’s a bad thing for us to do,” he said.

“Okay? People in this room, okay. People in this room for four years, some of you same people sat here with the last administration when you saw a weaponization of this department, the likes of which had never been seen in history.”

Blanche referenced investigations involving President Donald Trump and others, describing them as part of a broader pattern over the previous four years.

“And some of you are looking down now, and I get it because you had a president who was indicted four times by this department,” he said.

“You had a president who, along with this department, had assisted so this department helped two other local departments go after the president.”

He also cited legal disputes related to ballot access. “You had this department who stood idly by why States tried to keep President Trump off the ballot,” Blanche said.

“That’s what happened the past four years.”

Blanche said he does not accept current reporting that characterizes the department’s actions as politically motivated.

“And so when you when I’m asked questions, or when I see reporting about shock and awe at this supposed weaponization of this department, of this department of justice, it means nothing to me, because it’s completely false,” he said.

He described the department as undergoing changes over the past 14 months.

“What we’re doing and what we’ve been doing for the past 14 months is changing this department,” Blanche said.

Blanche rejected claims that the president is directing the department to target political opponents.

“We’re no longer people say the President wants to go after his political enemies,” he said.

“No, the President has said time and time again that he wants justice.”

He pointed to investigations involving the president and those around him as part of the context for his remarks.

“And if you look at what happened to him, his family, his administration, the agents that protected him, people that happened or just walked by him on a given day, they had to, they got subjected to massive investigations by this department,” Blanche said.

Blanche acknowledged that the issue continues to draw attention from the press.

“So I understand the question, and I understand the pretty constant role of the media, that somehow this department is weaponizing itself, but it happens not to be true,” he said.

He also emphasized the scope of the department’s work across the country.

“We have 10s of 1000s of prosecutors all over this country putting bad guys in jail,” Blanche said.

“Okay, that’s something that wasn’t happening like it should have been happening for the past four years.”

Blanche concluded by saying those efforts will continue in the near term.

“That’s going to happen tomorrow and it’s going to happen in the coming days,” he said.
