thehill | A Tea Party group on Friday announced the launch of an attack ad against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein,
urging him to “do his job, or resign” following the release of a
controversial GOP memo alleging surveillance abuse at the Department of
Justice.
Tea Party Patriots Action uploaded the ad to
YouTube hours after the House Intelligence Committee memo was released
publicly, sparking speculation that President Trump may move to fire Rosenstein.
The
ad’s narrator describes Rosenstein as “a weak careerist at the Justice
Department, protecting liberal Obama holdovers and the Deep State,
instead of following the rule of law.”
“His
incompetence and abuse of power have undermined congressional
investigations, led to stonewalling and tarnished the credibility of the
Department of Justice,” the narrator continues.
“Time for him to stand
up for the rule of law and stand up for the American people. It’s time
for Rod Rosenstein to do his job, or resign.”
