Christ, this lady is nuts. She just rattled off a list of people who got caught doing illegal shit, and were held somewhat accountable, and that's the "Deep State"?
Got news for you, sister...

What even is the “Deep State” at this point?
It's apparently whatever "they" are doing that you don't like, and it changes ALL THE TIME. It's classic Fascism and fostering the idea of "Us V Them".
Because to many people politics is a team sport - their team is always right the opposing team is always wrong.
So if the refs call a foul on their team then it was a bullshit call, but on the other team then it was fair.
I love how they're going on about this crap, while giving BJs to the russians.
The red scare you dipshits was about russia...
They're no longer communist and they're getting a lot of money from Putin so they don't give a shit. Similar deal with China. They may be communist on paper but they still play ball with them by giving the corporations a place to build shit with cheap labor and materials. They also have a huge consumer base so you better believe these stupid McCarthyists are fondling Xi Jinping's balls for acess to their markets.
They realize that means Trump, right?
Every accusation is a confession, after all.
It works doubly well because after accusing the left of doing it for ages (like voter fraud) all of the right-wing voters will say, "So what if we cheated? We're just trying to match their level of cheating to keep it fair!"
McCarthy just made shit up so it makes sense they look up to him.
Holy shit. McCarthy was a junkie and a crippling drunk who's vices ultimately killed him.
He wasn't "right", he never found a single Soviet agent. He was probably a self-loathing homosexual who rode the lavender scare to bolster his horrible, HORRIBLE polling numbers and it bit him in the ass eventually.
THIS is who they are lionizing now?
Ann Coulter wrote an entire book trying to "set the record straight", if I recall.
Looks like some people need to be introduced to a wall.
The right has felt they had to "suffer" for decades now by having to be quiet about things like: McCarthy, Nixon, Pinochet, slavery, and on and on. They cannot wait to be able to jam a counter-narrative down the throats of everyone, most especially your kids in government schools run the "right" way. If some of this gives them a permission structure for some violence, all the better in their view.
