Ex-Bush official mocked after ‘finding out he’s part of a criminal protection racket’
A Republican political figure was mocked on social media after he expressed outrage at Donald Trump’s latest move. Specifically, former George W. Bush administration White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, a Fox News contributor who served as press secretary under then-President Bush from January 2001 to July 2003, was confused as to why Trump commuted the prion sentence of disgraced GOP ex-lawmaker George Santos.”Why? This is a mistake,” Fleischer wrote on social media over the weekend. “Wire fraud and identity theft are serious crimes.”That led to numerous people calling out the GOP figure, including conservative strategist Tim Miller, who answered Fleischer:”Because you supported someone who is running a corrupt banana republic style government where enemies are prosecuted, criminal friends are pardoned, and foreign interests can buy favor by investing the leaders cryptocurrency. Hope that helps.”National security journalist Marcy “emptywheel” Wheeler also chimed in with, “Ari Fleischer discovers he’s part of a criminal protection racket.”.
