Prominent members of the GOP are falling in line to support former President Trump in the wake of his arrest, processing, and mugshot in Fulton County, Georgia.

Trump turned himself in Thursday night at Fulton County Jail.

“Today is another dark day in U.S. history,” Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Georgia tweeted. “A day when We The People & the world, will witness the continued weaponization of the justice system against a political opponent, former POTUS, & leading candidate for the upcoming presidential election. This is a travesty of justice.”

“91 charges is what dictators do,” former acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell posted. “Joe Biden has unleashed a blowback like never before. Trump 2024 – save our country from the corrupted elites.”

“We’re gonna do our duty to get the answers the American people deserve for this ridiculous indictment in Georgia,” Rep. Jim Jordan told Fox News host Sean Hannity.

“They’re saying an overt act to further a conspiracy was President Trump’s tweets for goodness’ sake,” Jordan added. “They say my friend, former colleague Mark Meadows, asking a colleague for a phone number, that’s an overt action in furtherance of a conspiracy. This is ridiculous.”

“This is the photo that will win the 2024 Presidential election. The American people will not stand for communism in America,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) posted.

“Those who decided to start using indictments, prosecutors & even mug shots as weapons in a political campaign have unleashed a destructive new era in American politics,” Republican Sen. Marco Rubio posted on Twitter. “Now, for years to come our criminal justice system will be used to target candidates in both parties & the harm this will do to America will take a long time to fix.”

“After spending the day on live shots of cars and planes, covering every literal turn of President Trump’s movement to and from Fulton County, CNN announces it will not take Trump’s comments live,” MAGA Inc. CEO Taylor Budowich tweeted. “Will let viewers know if there is anything ‘newsworthy.’ Propagandists.”
