This is the latest wrong and dangerous escalation by Trump.
He’s weaponizing the FBI AND the DoD together as a radical and unacceptable dual-strike of intimidation to come after his political adversaries.
This is much bigger than Republicans vs Democrats. It’s about wrong vs right.

The President directing the FBI to target us is exactly why we made this video in the first place. He believes in weaponizing the federal government against his perceived enemies and does not believe laws apply to him or his Cabinet.

Integrity has defined my brother’s service to our nation, as a combat veteran, astronaut, and US Senator. Any effort to undermine that is an abuse of power.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
