MSNBC's Ari Melber Has 2 Words That Could Haunt Trump And Other Right-Wingers

[question everything]

Former President Donald Trump and those around him who are swamped in legal troubles have complained endlessly about how they’ve been treated by law enforcement. But MSNBC host Ari Melber says they’ve forgotten the two words those on the right have until recently loved to use: “Just comply.”

Trump, Melber noted, was given multiple opportunities to just comply and turn over the documents sought by the feds.

“We know the attorney general said they had already tried less intrusive means and then only went in because Trump was not complying,” Melber said.

Similarly, former Trump adviser Peter Navarro complained about his own arrest in June on Fox News.

“Which is the same place where viewers had been lectured so many times on how to avoid exactly those problems with police: Just say ‘Yes sir, yes officer’ and comply,” Melber noted, then shared a supercut video of Fox News voices saying exactly that.

The difference? That “just comply” advice was in response to police shootings of Black Americans.

“The hypocrisy and the double-standard here matters,” Melber said. “It is political and it is racial.”

Did the right wingers say that about Ashli Babbit?

Maybe we missed it.

[Mickju]

6. Excellent point!

No, of course they didn't say that about Ashli Babbit. They only say it about people of color or people on the left.

[calimary]

17. Yep. And remember what some folks also say about situations like this one:

"Turnabout is fair play."

And

"Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander."

And I know there are more. They didn't get to the "famous sayings" level for no reason.

5. And, a few more of their words dating back to post-9/11 to add to that.

"If you haven't done anything wrong, then you don't need to worry about the government looking into your affairs." Hey, Donald! If you've done nothing wrong, what are you afraid of?

Those fuckers are fine with intruding into every aspect of our lives, from our medical records to our bedroom habits, but don't dare serve a legal search warrant on them for items they fucking stole from us.

16. And when he claimed that "the mob takes the Fifth"

If you are innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?
