Conservatives on social media criticized the Biden administration for the revelation that more classified information had been found on his property.
Many questioned why the FBI had not taken similar action as they had with former President Trump.
Former President Donald Trump also slammed the FBI and DOJ on Truth Social.
It came as yet more classified files were found at President Joe Biden’s home. It is the sixth set of classified documents found at Biden’s home in Delaware.
President Biden was back in his home state this weekend and was spotted coming out of St. Joseph on the Brandywine Catholic Church in Delaware on Saturday night.
Biden was photographed together with his wife, Dr. Jill Biden after attending mass and presumably praying for this entire episode to come an end. But it didn’t stop his adversaries in Congress piling on the pressure throughout the day.
Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert tweeted, ‘ANOTHER trove of classified documents found in the Biden residence. This is after Cringe Karine said that the search of Biden’s home was complete.’
‘Looks like they’ve got documents coming out of the woodworks over in Wilmington. Still no FBI raid…’
Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was even more succinct as he tweeted, ‘Full FBI raid happens when?’
Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway tweeted, ‘Remember when the FBI raided Mar-A-Lago over a presidential paperwork dispute they had no patience resolving after spending years patiently resolving other presidential paperwork disputes and not even noticing VP Biden hoovered up classified docs and spreading them all over?’
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton tweeted, ‘Biden White House Counsel travels to Biden Delaware home with Biden DOJ officials to look for docs — AFTER Special Counsel is appointed? But Trump’s home gets FBI raid after Biden DOJ officials refuse Trump offer to let them look through records. Biden DOJ is corrupt mess.’
Critics have also pointed out a perceived double standard, as President Biden’s personal attorneys unexpectedly discovered documents with classified markings at his Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement office on November 2nd, yet the White House did not inform the public before the November midterms.
Senator Rick Scott wrote: ‘Either @JoeBiden is an absolute hypocrite or completely clueless. Probably both. We need to get to the bottom of this. How long has he had these…6+ years? Time for accountability.’
‘MORE HIGHLY CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS FOUND IN BIDEN’S HOME!!! How does this keep happening? Biden needs to disclose NOW how many documents were in his possession and where they were stored. As Vice President, he had NO RIGHT to hold onto this information!!’ tweeted Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson using multiple exclamation marks and upper case letters.
The White House has stated that it has handled both the discovery of the documents and the subsequent explanations in a ‘transparent’ way, yet questions have been asked by pundits from both political parties as to why the public were not told ahead of the midterms.
Biden has also been reminded of his own comments when he slammed former President Trump for harboring his own set of classified documents on his Mar-a-Lago estate which led to an FBI raid.
‘How that could possibly happen, how one anyone could be that irresponsible?’ Biden said in September to 60 Minutes back then.
