Trump indicted and his West Virginia sycophants quickly respond
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey was the first to respond:
Trump’s indictment is a travesty. This is a political prosecution. Period. #TrumpIndictment pic.twitter.com/oj9jgw78VT

Is it appropriate for the state's chief legal officer to comment on this without . . .
Let the pandering begin: the leaders of the WV Trump Party get out their dog whistles to defend their party’s namesake
It’s all there: Soros-backed prosecutors, Stalin’s secret police, third world banana republic stuff, violent thugs roaming the streets, weaponizing the criminal code for political purposes, anarchy and corruption, political prosecution, a leftist Manhattan DA, and obviously, a gross miscarriage of justice
From WV District 2 Representative, Alex Mooney:

With ONLY 15 months left until the WV primary, the Republican race for the U.S. Senate nomination is heating up
Alex Mooney is already attacking Jim Justice and WV media, remembering the income generated from the McKinley-Mooney contest, want to know “when will the attack ads begin?”
Earlier today, from Alex Mooney:

Just in time for the State of the Union, the Wheeling Intelligencer prints Senator Capito’s opinion piece on “Biden Policies Hurting America”
Additionally, Capito’s T-ball coach joins West Virginia stenographers to tee one up for the senator
Today’s Wheeling Intelligencer op-ed by WV’s West Virginia’s Republican senator blames President Biden's policies for America’s inflation. Not surprisingly, Shelley Moore Capito’s message has not changed in two years: the inflation is all Biden’s fault. Sadly, in that period, with the exception of pipelines, Capito has never mentioned . . .
Social Security, Medicare, and Joe Manchin
Earlier today, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin was on CNN:
Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin tells CNN's @kaitlancollins that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has agreed to leave Medicare and Social Security cuts off the table in debt ceiling negotiations.

What have West Virginia’s representatives been doing lately? (with 1/24 update)
Don’t expect our local Ogden Newspaper to cover any of this; they have more important “news” to cover
Alex Mooney
Mooney takes the extreme position on abortion:
I am honored to once again be the lead sponsor of the Life at Conception Act, which simply defines human life as beginning at the moment of conception. As a result, preborn babies are entitled to legal protection under the Constitution. #ProLife pic.twitter.com/IEOJVCKGqm . . .
Forget taxes, critical race theory, and destroying public education, what West Virginia’s Republican Party most cares about are guns
You probably saw this article in today’s Wheeling Intelligencer:
An unsuccessful bill that caused infighting among Republican lawmakers four years ago to allow college students to carry concealed weapons on campus is back, this time being considered by the West Virginia Senate. https://t.co/94OG76g5me pic.twitter.com/4ON6sjisJz
