Forward Party founder Andrew Yang shows his whole a**, calls FBI search of Mar-a-Lago 'political'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former presidential candidate and recent founder of the third Forward Party, Andrew Yang, has gone on a social media tirade about the FBI search on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago beachside estate.

Trump confirmed Monday night that the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) were at his Mar-a-Lago residence carrying out a search warrant. Trump described the raid as “dark times for our Nation” and said that his home was “under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents.”

Tuesday, Yang turned to Twitter, suggesting that the entire search would be fodder for a 2024 campaigning Trump and could cause MAGA Americans to believe more of the bullshit Trump (and now Yang) have been peddling about the “unjust” American institutions.

“The FBI raid of Trump’s home has fired up his base of support in the GOP - and has seemingly increased the odds of his running in ‘24,” Yang tweeted.

Andrew Yang Is Already Talking About Running for President in 2024

Yang told his staffers that a strong showing in the New Hampshire primary this Tuesday would help build a base of supporters he could draw on if he ran again in four years.

“Every bit of good we do in the state of New Hampshire gives us a chance to make history right now on Tuesday, but it also enables us to build a following and support base for the ideas that energize this campaign and for the future,” Yang said on the call.

He went on, “Imagine a world where we put up a really great number on Tuesday, and then let’s say we decide to run this back again in four years. If you start with that base in New Hampshire, plus everything that we have the next time around, we’re going to be even better positioned to see the goals of this campaign through, eradicate poverty, improve the human condition, and help move this country we love forward in the right direction.”

10. Seeing the Backside of the Forward Party

I have never been impressed with Andrew Yang nor have I have never understood his appeal. He has no real platform or political accomplishments, The Forward Party appears to be a scam that really is only designed to help TFG

haven’t written about the Forward Party, founded by the adrift Yang, who ran for president as a Democrat, ran for New York mayor as a Democrat, failed spectacularly at both, and then decided the problem wasn’t him or his politics or his communication skills—it was the Democratic Party.

He found two older, retired Republicans, former Florida representative David Jolly and former New Jersey governor Christine Todd Whitman, to give him bipartisan cover for what is essentially an attack on Democrats. Because the law of third-party dynamics is: The party the new group is closest to is the party that will suffer if the new group gathers mass. Obviously, that party is the Democrats.

Yang’s sympathetic Trump tweet reminds us that third-party dreams are usually the essence of bothsidesism. Both sides are too extreme; we alone can fix it. Yang’s attempt to vocalize what “millions of Americans” will see as “unjust persecution” is typical for a third-party leader.

Worse, though, is the fact that everyone who covers the far right is seeing growing threats of violence in response to the Mar-a-Lago raid. In his efforts to stay in power, the former president has obviously broken the law. But he and his minions clearly believe that he is above the law and that there is no legitimacy to whatever case the Justice Department might be assembling. There is informed speculation that the raid was to retrieve serious national security documents.

For Yang to even glancingly endorse the notion that the FBI might have unfairly targeted Trump is just one more log on the fire of violent white nationalist extremism. I’m sure he didn’t mean it that way. I’m pretty sure he didn’t know what he meant. The Forward Party is already in my rearview mirror.
