Critics are blasting President Biden for posting a fundraising tweet the same day his main political rival was arrested in Fulton County, Georgia.
“Apropos of nothing, I think today’s a great day to give to my campaign,” Biden tweeted, sharing a link to his Act Blue donation page. On the website, supporters are called on to "donate...to fight back against MAGA Republicans."
"We need to show that we can and will defeat MAGA Republicans in 2024. Will you donate to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's reelection campaign right now?"
The timing was not overlooked by X users.
Totally not a political prosecution. https://t.co/LlSUZqYU4g

Biden is fundraising off the weaponization of justice against his leading political opponent, @realDonaldTrump. https://t.co/eQu5PeVhh3

Again.
By another Democrat prosecutor
In another Democrat hellhole.
After colluding with the Biden Justice Department.
It’s long past time for House Republicans to open an impeachment inquiry.

On Thursday, Trump was booked by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office on 13 felony counts relating to his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
“This is a very sad day for America that should never happen,” Trump told reporters afterwards.
“What has taken place here is a travesty of justice. We did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong,” he added.
