The corruption in Florida highlights the concerning type of Republicans emerging in Trump's wake.

Todd Blanche is weaponizing the DOJ, Sean Duffy is corrupt, Mark Wayne Mullen is terrorizing communities, RFK Jr. is mishandling health crises, and Pete Hegseth is ruining the military.

He stole the Sunday New York Times because he needed the information but couldn't afford it, arguing news should be free.

Pete Hegseth would be a gym teacher selling drugs, Howard Lutnick a used car salesman, Scott Bessent an antique dealer, and RFK Jr. a voice actor.
