🧩 1. Government “Weaponization” and Political Retaliation

The first section describes a Senate hearing involving:

• Attorney General Pam Bondi testifying before the Senate.

• Senator Josh Hawley accusing the Biden administration, the DOJ, and the FBI of “weaponizing” federal agencies against Republicans.

• Claims include:

  • FBI phone tapping of Republican senators (e.g., Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn).

  • Surveillance of conservative organizations such as Turning Point USA.

  • Targeting of Catholics, parents at school board meetings, and pro-life activists.

• Bondi asserts that “weaponization under Donald Trump has ended,” suggesting this scene takes place under a new Trump administration that is “restoring justice.”

This segment portrays a highly partisan narrative where Democrats are accused of widespread abuses of power and civil rights violations during the Biden presidency, while Trump and his team are depicted as correcting those wrongs.
