Remember when Joe Walsh was prepared to grab a musket to defend America?

You might not believe it, but in 2016, Joe Walsh was so pro-Trump he said he’d grab his musket if Trump lost. pic.twitter.com/mFCsNiq72r

Those were the days. Now, Joe Walsh loathes Trump (there was better money in that stance) and he is very proud he signed a letter admonishing Trump. I’m sure that will get Trump to change his mind on everything.

I’m proud to have signed this.👇 https://t.co/BEL1LVp8QW

What a clown. Let’s check out what this ‘strongly worded letter’ actually says.

An Open Letter Opposing White House Retaliatory Investigations
We write with grave concern about the two presidential memoranda dated April 9, 2025,
targeting Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor, respectively — two former national security officials
who served the people of the United States. These executive actions represent a dangerous
escalation in the abuse of presidential power: weaponizing federal agencies to carry out
personalized retribution against named individuals.
Presidents of both parties have long respected the independence of federal law enforcement and refrained from using the power at their disposal to punish perceived enemies. Indeed, presidents have gone out of their way to avoid even the appearance of impropriety or influence. President Trump’s statements are a profoundly unconstitutional break with this tradition. He is explicitly targeting two Americans because they exercised their First Amendment rights and criticized him.
That is a miscarriage of justice which these individuals, and other people and institutions
vindictively singled out by him, will be unfairly forced to endure. The president of the United
States must not direct federal authorities to investigate people with whom he disagrees.
This is not democratic governance. It is baseless retaliation — and it has no place in the United States of America. Across our history, there have been dark chapters where state power has been weaponized and dissent suppressed, including the crackdown during and after World War I, the Red Scare of the 1950s, and President Richard Nixon’s “enemies list.” These episodes are now seen as shameful deviations from the fundamental American principles of free expression and impartial justice. The April 9 presidential memoranda are an appalling rejection of those bedrock democratic values.
Indeed, the President’s actions not only evoke some of the worst moments in our history; they go even further. For a president to personally and publicly direct the levers of the federal
government against publicly named citizens for political reasons sets a new and perilous
precedent in our republic. It brings to mind the abuses of power that characterize authoritarian
nations, not the United States. No matter one’s party or politics, every American should reject the notion that the awesome power of the presidency can be used to pursue individual vendettas.
Behavior of this kind is more to be expected from a royal despot than the elected leader of a
constitutional republic. This is the path of autocracy, not democracy.
For these reasons, we urge that the President immediately rescind these memoranda and that
agency heads repudiate any order that undermines their oaths, politicizes their missions, or
betrays the constitutional principles they are sworn to uphold.
These actions, if carried out, will leave a permanent stain on our institutions and erode our
democracy. History will not forget who stood silent. We will not stand silent
