Democrats pounced after the Justice Department announced felony charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), claiming that it was motivated by politics. But, apparently, it is not only Democrats who are upset about the charges.

Rep. McIver is facing two counts of assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement officers during a May 9 fracas outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. Protesters demonstrating against the Trump administration’s immigration policies clashed with police officers outside the building.

The criminal complaint alleges that the lawmaker was part of a human shield trying to prevent the authorities from getting to Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was also part of the protest. McIver allegedly “slammed her forearm” into one of the officers, according to the complaint, which also claims she “reached out and tried to restrain” the officer by “forcibly grabbing him.”

In a statement provided to USA Today, 11 former GOP members of Congress condemned the charges against McIver.

They are Republicans who are no better than Democrats.

I am bleeping tired of the grossly obvious two-tiered justice, with me get nailed proportionately or beyond proportion for when I break laws, but elite pols - both parties! - and judges get wrist-slaps with padded hands and apologies for their law-breaking.

America NEEDS law-breaking pols modeling orange jumpsuits in the runways of the GreyBar Hotel!

They are Republicans who are no better than Democrats.

The other signers of the May 22 statement were former Republican Reps. Mickey Edwards of Oklahoma, Barbara Comstock of Virginia, David Emery of Maine, Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland, Christopher Shays of Connecticut, Peter Smith of Vermont, David Trott of Michigan, Joe Walsh of Illinois, Denver Riggleman of Virginia and former Republican Sen. Gordon Humphrey of New Hampshire.

Their whole framing of the issue is misleading and misses the point. There's congressional oversight, and there's criminal behavior. If the accused are guilty of the latter, then there's nothing for these uniparty Republicans to argue about.
