Attorney General Todd Blanche was sworn in last Monday, but even before that, he was in the crosshairs of ‘journalists’ and their fellow Democrats. As expected, he’s being held to a higher standard than the Democrats who have held the AG position. Democrat presidents (think Barack Obama and Joe Biden) can sic the Department of Justice on their political opponents with impunity. But with President Donald Trump in power, AG Blanche and the DOJ are expected to act as some independent Fourth Branch of the federal government.
Here’s Kristen Welker of NBC News aiming her ‘gotcha’ question at Blanche on Sunday’s Meet the Press. (WATCH)
Kristen Welker to AG Blanche: "Can you pledge that the Justice Department will always act independently of the White House?"

Not sure where in the Constiution it says that the DOJ is supposed to be its own 4th branch of government. pic.twitter.com/malABEszy5
What gives Welker the right to demand a pledge? She’s a hack reporter.

The DOJ is part of the executive branch, he works for Potus.

Not so fast, ‘journalists’ say it’s an independent co-equal branch of the federal government!
Posters say Blanche should have pulled an AG Eric Holder on Welker.
He should call himself Trump's wingman and see how she responds.

He should just cite the “wing man” defense and move on.

‘Journalists’ said that was a colloquial term when Holder said it in relation to Obama. How convenient of them.
Commenters say we’ve had at least three decades of AGs flexing their muscle per the whims of Democrat Presidents. Blanche is being held to a different standard.

Welker is such a propagandist, activist clown.4 years of Garland and weaponization for a dementia "president".
Not a word.8 years of Obama and his "wingmen".
Not a word.
This is why you are the #1 enemy of real Americans who would prefer to see you in prison cells for your destruction of the country.
How much is the CCP paying you for today's show?

Those instances were (D)ifferent.
Posters wonder why Republicans even go on these shows since they’re always going to end up debating a Democrat at the anchor’s desk.
The Sunday talk shows, especially the three legacy networks, are hosted and produced by ignorant and foolish people who have no idea how to ask serious questions.
— Kelly D Johnston (@KHostages) August 16, 2026
Notice that Democrat Media like Welker NEVER asks Democrats the same kinds of questions, or with the same level of anger and bitterness.

The rabid chihuahua @kwelkernbc can't help herself. She always says something stupid.

“Rabid chihuahua” is right! 😂

That’s not fair. One is a small, yapping creature who thinks it’s bigger and more important than it really is, and the other one is a Chihuahua. Please don’t compare dogs to ‘journalists.’ Dogs deserve better.
