Harshbarger joins fellow Republicans in criticizing FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid

KINGSPORT, Tenn. (WJHL) — Rep. Diana Harshbarger was among the many Republicans who swiftly took to social media Monday to lash out at the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

On Twitter, the congresswoman accused the FBI of “inconsistent and partisan application of the law” and called the raid “an attack on our Republic.”

Harshbarger, whose current re-election bid earned Trump’s endorsement, spoke with News Channel 11 on Tuesday morning.

“It’s inconsistent partisan application of the law, honestly,” she said. “You know it’s a brazen attempt by the Department of Justice to weaponize the FBI against political opponents or rivals, and that’s exactly what this is.”
