On Thursday, President Joe Biden initiated a fundraising appeal off of the arrest of his main political opponent, Donald Trump.
It’s something you would have only thought possible in dictatorships like Russia, North Korea, and Iran.
As our readers surely know by now, Trump, the leading contender for the Republican nomination for President, was officially arrested following an indictment on 13 counts involving alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
His mugshot was leaked to the media shortly thereafter.
Biden used the partisan political persecution as a means to solicit donations.
“Apropos of nothing, I think today’s a great day to give to my campaign,” he wrote on the X social media platform (formerly Twitter).
Reuters reports that the President’s post, which included a link to an Act Blue donation page for the Biden-Harris campaign, was sent out “at about the same time as Trump was on his way to be arrested at the Fulton County Jail.”

Biden Hammered For Fundraising Off Of Trump’s Arrest
Former President Trump has claimed that the Georgia indictment, along with the others, have been at the behest of the Biden administration and reveal a clear example of “election interference.”
Fundraising at almost the exact same time as his arrest does little to counter that narrative.
The President should be embarrassed.
While the phrase “apropos of nothing” is meant to feign ignorance to the political news climate surrounding the post on X it is, in reality, a clear indication that Biden is aware of the timing and opted to post the fundraiser regardless.
It was intentional.
It’s almost like they’re coordinating this shit. https://t.co/LBzP750zfW

The Washington Times accurately reported that the post was evidence of Biden trying “to cash in on Trump’s booking.”
The Daily Mirror pointed out: “Essentially, Biden felt Trump’s arrest and the intense media fanfare garnered by Thursday evening’s proceedings was the perfect opportunity to draw attention back to his bid for a second term in office in 2024.”
Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec called the White House out for being blatant about fundraising off the arrest of their chief political opponent.
“They’re bragging about it,” he wrote. “They’re right up in your grill.”

Political correspondent Daniel Baldwin suggested the blatant political persecution might be what ends the Biden presidency.
“Joe Biden celebrating the political persecution of the biggest threat to his second term,” he wrote. “This is the harsh, tyrannical reality of the state of the U.S. republic today.”

Biden Stands Up For Political Prisoners … In Cuba
Isn’t it something that President Biden, less than nine months ago, issued a strong statement of support for political prisoners?
Prisoners who were jailed for protesting?
But that was in Cuba, not here in the United States of America.
“In the face of oppression, these protestors bravely exercised their fundamental freedoms, including the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly,” said Biden.

We are watching the most politically motivated administration in the history of this country.
An administration jailing political opponents after specious claims of an insurrection, fielding requests to look at parents as domestic terrorists under the Patriot Act, and criminally pursuing pro-life advocates.
And now this Fidel Castro wannabe is putting a former President of the United States in prison and asking for people to fund the effort.
America has fallen and the only man who can save it may be heading to prison.
Now is the time to support and share the sources you trust.
