Local Radio Host and Owner/Publisher of Vero’s Voice Magazine Rhett Palmer gave the following statement to Indian River News about the Mar-a-Lago Raid:

Partisan politics has stepped over the line now using the FBI and the IRS to manipulate. We are officially in a military state and it is nothing less than a coo. The left dictators will do anything to keep a non- politician from becoming a President again but… This could very well be their undoing. To burst into the home of a former United States President is treason. To threaten a Supreme Court justice is treason against our constitution that defines our republic. If this does not awaken the sleeping giant then be prepared for the gallows and camps the Germans created to annihilate any potential adversary to their ideals.

I am the shoeshine boy from Poughkeepsie New York. I never thought as an old man I might have to die for my country. I am terrified sick. The terrorists have arrived in sheep clothing and they are far more dangerous than wolves.

The Jews thought ” This will pass over” . Asleep at the wheel they remained docile.

I ask this; When will the leaders emerge from the ranks? If not you then who? I regret that I have but one life to give to my country. Arrogant evil is in control and will remain so until the hero’s rise up or the morphine of prosperity kills what once was the promise to the people of all others nations that fed hope of a better life.

Freedom is being threatened like never before.

Note this; I am not a political person. I am a member of the proletariat and a common citizen who would rather not get involved.

I have never been a conspiracy theorist. If I am alarmed there is reason to be alarmed. God save the USA.

Senator Marco Rubio posted a late-night video addressing the Mar-a-Lago raid, comparing it to something the Government would do in Nicaragua. He mentioned an instance where all the candidates that ran against Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega were arrested. He said those candidates are still sitting in prison.

Senator Rubio specifically pointed out many Presidential Administrations have had disputes with the Archival Office over what is and is not Presidential Record. Rubio said the Mar-a-Lago Raid was to intimidate President Trump. Rubio said doing something this was like playing with fire. He said this creates the prescedent for further abuse to happen in this manner. He expressed concern this could irreparably harm the United States as a Country.

Rubio said Attorney General Merick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray need to be “held accountable” for their involvement in the Mar-a-Lago raid.

State House District 34 Republican Primary Candidate Dr. Karen Hiltz Ed.D told Indian River News:

As many others have stated, this is the weaponization and politicization of federal agencies. This is egregious government over reach. This is unprecedented FBI action, to engage in an unnounced “raid” at a former President’s private property. Shameful!

Every citizen should be concerned by this raid. With the current bill in congress that authorizes the hiring of 87,000 new IRS agents, they will be used as political weapons.

This will not end well for those who choose to use fear and intimidation tactics. The American people will not cower and will rise up to protect our freedoms and rights.

May God have mercy on our republic.

TGI Now Co-Host Eddie Rivera said “it’s outrageous if it could happen to a former president that could happen to anybody why haven’t they searched the Bidens the Clintons the Obamas these criminals should be investigated not Trump who doesn’t even have a speeding ticket is all bullshit they just don’t want him to run 2024 they want to continue with this Tierney we have to stop it we need to stand up for country for former president and for America.”

IRC School Board District 4 Candidate Thomas Kenny posted on Facebook:

When it comes to civics and American history, let’s teach our students the meaning of when you have a government that doesn’t follow law, but rather, preferring a committee without allowing the accused to defend themselves with proper cross-examination of witnesses and equal representation within the bounds of law. Without apparent cause, the FBI raided the home of the 45th President of the United States. They have been confiscating materials and not searching them as they gather them. In effect, the FBI is indiscriminately stealing Trump’s property and private papers.

Truly tyrannical.

President Trump posted a Campaign Style video on his Truth Social profile. Below is that video on Disclose.tv’s Telegram Channel:

Senator Marco Rubio released another video discussing his thoughts on the Mar-a-Lago raid and its subsequent consequences.

Congressman Bill Posey released the following statement condemning the Mar-a-Lago raid:

“The left and their woke allies in Washington have been obsessed with their phony narratives and disproven conspiracy theories about Donald Trump for the last seven years. He is the most investigated president in history and nothing criminal has turned up. Yet, the same Department of Justice and FBI weaponized against President Trump has turned a blind eye to decades of the Biden Family’s corrupt business practices and influence peddling in the Ukraine, China, Russia and elsewhere. The Washington swamp has been consumed with this obsession of getting Donald Trump at all costs— and it’s undemocratic. The Biden Justice Department’s raid on the former President’s residence is unprecedented and takes a page from third world dictators who jail dissidents and quash dissent. Instead, this Administration should be focused on fixing the economy, lowering prices, building American energy independence, securing our borders, protecting our communities from rampant crime, and countering China.”
