"Absolutely, McClendon replied. Donald Trump is willing to use every part of our government to go after the people who have dissented or disagreed or criticized him in any way. All of this attention going on, you know, going after his enemies means that our national security and intelligence professionals are not focused on what they should be focused on, she added. And that doesn't just put Democrats at risk. That puts our entire country at risk. It puts the president at risk."
"McClendon joined host Alex Witt and former Democrat Congressman Carlos Curbelo on Sunday's Alex Witt Reports to talk about several Trump topics, including Friday's high profile raid on Bolton's home. After a lot of discussion across multiple segments about actions taken by Trump on a variety of fronts, Witt asked McClendon about the raid and the recent revocation of security credentials, mostly from former officials, overseen by Trump DNI Tulsi Gabbard."
President Trump is said to be using government power to target critics and dissenters, including a high-profile raid on John Bolton's home and revocation of security credentials for mostly former officials. That retributive focus is claimed to divert national security and intelligence professionals from their core duties, potentially leaving incoming or looming domestic and foreign threats unaddressed and increasing risk to the country and the president. No specific examples or evidence were offered to demonstrate actual harm to national security, and no direct follow-up sought details about which threats might have been ignored.
