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

Figuratively
West Virginia State Treasurer Riley Moore:
Your financial information belongs to YOU, not the financial institutions colluding with anti-gun activists to create back-door gun registries.
Every state should follow our lead and protect the financial privacy of citizens . . .
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
