Glenn Greenwald Excoriates the Left: ‘Democratic Politics Is about Criminalizing Opposition’

Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald unloaded on the Democratic Party over the weekend, calling them out as authoritarians who did not just want to win, they wanted to criminalize their opposition.

Greenwald began by responding to a tweet from The Prospect managing editor Ryan Cooper, who had complained about the fact that prosecutors had recommended not to indict Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) in relation to a sex-trafficking probe.

Greenwald pointed out that Cooper had not even delved into the possible reasons prosecutors had decided the way they did, tweeting, “This is a perfect illustration of how authoritarian so many Democrats are. This Democrat doesn’t know or care why career DOJ prosecutors decided the evidence was insufficient to prosecute Matt Gaetz. What he knows is that Gaetz supports Trump and thus wants him imprisoned.”
