In a move to combat the relentless persecution of Donald Trump by the radical left, Republican Congressman Andrew Clyde from Georgia has put forward a bold proposal to defund their unwarranted attacks. Clyde, who sits on the House Appropriations Committee, is seeking to remove federal funding for the prosecution of presidential candidates in 2024.

The four indictments against Trump, brought by left-leaning prosecutors such as Special Counsel Jack Smith, New York’s Alvin Bragg, and Georgia’s Fani Willis, have been nothing short of a coordinated effort to interfere in the upcoming election. Clyde’s amendments, aimed at both federal and state prosecutors, are designed to prevent this blatant manipulation of justice.
“These bogus charges are undoubtedly intended to smear and take down President Trump, as well as hinder his ability to campaign effectively,” Clyde passionately declared. “This overt election interference continues to undermine both our Republic and our fair system of justice.”
It’s not just Clyde who recognizes the left’s politically motivated assault on Trump. Other pro-Trump Republicans, including Matt Gatez (R-FL) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), have voiced their support for efforts to curb the Democratic Party’s weaponization of the law against him. However, it’s disappointing that party leadership has not yet backed these crucial initiatives.
Clyde firmly believes that these prosecutions infringe upon the freedom of the American people to choose their own leaders. “The American people get to decide who wins the White House—not Deep State actors who have shamelessly attacked Donald Trump since he announced his first bid in 2015,” he emphatically stated. It is imperative for Congress to use its power of the purse to protect the integrity of our elections.
Recent reports have shed light on the coordinated nature of this witch hunt. Members of Jack Smith’s staff were allegedly seen visiting the White House before Trump’s indictment over classified documents in June. Despite these glaring signs of political bias, Democrats dismiss the obvious and attempt to paint Smith as “independent” of Biden and his party, parroting the tired slogan that “no one is above the law.”
Republican Congressman Jim Jordan (OH), Chair of the Oversight Committee, has taken up the mantle of investigating these prosecutions. In a letter to Fani Willis, Jordan demanded information about any coordination with Smith’s office. It’s about time someone held these prosecutors accountable and exposed the political motivations behind their actions.
Even Joe Biden seems to revel in Trump’s arrests, callously tweeting, “Apropos of nothing, I think today’s a great day to give to my campaign.” This gloating only highlights the vindictive nature of the left’s pursuit of Trump, further validating the need to defund and put an end to this witch hunt.
In conclusion, it is clear that the radical left’s relentless persecution of Donald Trump through politically motivated prosecutions is an affront to our democracy. Congressman Andrew Clyde’s proposal to defund these unjust attacks is a step in the right direction. It’s time for Congress to protect the integrity of our elections and ensure that the American people, not partisan actors, have the final say in choosing their leaders.
