Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee spoke out after the heavy-handed arrest of former Trump adviser Peter Navarro who was put into handcuffs and leg shackles at a Washington D.C.-area airport after he defied a subpoena from Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s sham “insurrection” committee.

Navarro, who was indicted for contempt of Congress, was on his way to Nashville, Tennessee for an appearance on a television show hosted by Huckabee when he was accosted by FBI agents. His arrest being the latest example of how the once-venerable bureau seems to have morphed into the Democrats’ own political Gestapo being unleashed against the party’s political adversaries.

The former trade policy adviser who was one of the biggest hawks on China during his time working for Trump was taken into custody by the state security forces on the day after he vowed to help Republicans impeach Biden. “Who are these people? This is not America,” he said. “I was a distinguished public servant for four years.”
