Acknowledging Republican concerns about the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s lavish Mar-a-Lago resort last week, Pence warned the GOP to steer clear of calling to defund the FBI or taking their ire over the raid too far.

“Our party stands with the men and women who stand on the thin blue line at the federal, state, and local levels. These attacks on the FBI must stop,” Pence declared at a forum in New Hampshire Wednesday. “Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police.”

Since the FBI executed a search and seizure operation at Mar-a-Lago last week in search of classified material believed to have been stashed at the lavish Palm Beach resort, a number of Republicans such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) have called to defund the FBI.
