The Spin


Anti-Trump narrative

This so-called anti-weaponization fund is an unconstitutional slush fund, and it should be treated as such. This judge was right to block it because no administration should get to raid the public treasury for personal retribution. This fund is intended to funnel hard-earned tax dollars to insurrectionists who undermined democracy.

Pro-Trump narrative

The judicial coup continues, this time with a Clinton-appointed activist judge standing in the way of Trump's anti-weaponization fund, which will provide relief for Americans targeted by a weaponized federal government. This fund exists to deliver accountability for IRS targeting and government overreach, and unelected judges shouldn't be allowed to sabotage that mission.
