Dana Milbank’s report on FBI Director Christopher A. Wray’s recent House testimony, “Republicans celebrate their successful deception of voters” [Sunday Opinion, July 16], revealed the sad truth about many conservative congressional Republicans — they care only for boosting their egos and little or nothing about bettering the lives of ordinary Americans.
Mr. Wray described the accusation levied at him by several conservatives that he has weaponized the FBI against conservatives as “insane,” “absurd” and “ludicrous.” Clearly, instead of probing legitimate concerns over Mr. Wray’s leadership of the FBI, the conservatives only want to get their names in the news and their pictures on TV by touting ridiculous conspiracy theories.
Does this sound familiar? Yes, it does. It’s right out of former president Donald Trump’s playbook. The House conservatives have seen how Mr. Trump constantly gets his name in the news by making outrageous accusations of victimhood. Sadly, conservative House Republicans are now playing exactly the same game, instead of doing their job of governing the country.
