.MaddowBlog: As school boards face threats, prominent Republicans are outraged — by the Justice Department's willingness to help those being targeted.

A surprising number of prominent Republicans are outraged — not by the threats and intimidation, but by Garland's willingness to assist scared local education officials."At his confirmation hearing, Merrick Garland promised not to follow the Obama model of weaponizing [the Justice Department] to target [and] persecute his political opponents. Just a few months in, he's already breaking that promise.

Alas, the Texas Republican is not alone. At a Capitol Hill hearing yesterday, for example, Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas asked Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco,"Is it domestic extremism for a parent to advocate for their child's best interests?" that read,"Now Joe Biden is deploying the FBI against parents who have concerns about Critical Race Theory being taught to their children. This is a remarkable and dangerous abuse of power."of his own that accused Garland of"weaponizing the DOJ by using the FBI to pursue concerned parents and silence them through intimidation.
