Mark Amodei Reacts to Mar-a-Lago Raid: “Anything that gets uber-politicized gets ruined”

August 9, 2022

CARSON CITY — U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) today issued the following statement after the FBI raided President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home:

“Efrem Zimbalist Jr. is rolling in his grave. I have always said that anything that gets uber-politicized gets ruined. Add the FBI and the DOJ to the list, along with education, immigration, health care, and energy policy. If you think raiding a former President and potential presidential candidate on the pretense of retrieving archives is just another day at the office, I disagree. If you think 87,000 new IRS agents is good policy when there are only 19,500 border patrol agents on our southern border, I disagree. If you think more money to run this federal government is a necessary act, I disagree. If you were wondering about where our country is headed, I hope you are no longer wondering.”
