Republican Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) is getting behind-the-scenes praise for taking a stand against President Donald Trump's MAGA nominee for top D.C. prosecutor, according to an MSNBC analyst. Tillis said Tuesday that he "indicated to the White House" that he will not support Ed Martin's bid to become U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C. Tillis's announcement sent MAGA world into meltdown, with members making phone calls and pronouncing their support for Martin on social media. Some even called for Tillis's ouster from the Senate committee considering Martin. Dave Aronberg, former U.S attorney for Palm Beach County, told MSNBC's Morning Joe on Wednesday that Ed Martin had "no business being the U.S. attorney for Washington D.C." ALSO READ: ‘Pain. Grief. Anger’: Families heartbroken as Trump backlash smashes adoption dreams "This guy has never been a prosecutor ever before. He was appointed because of politics, because he represented a bunch of insurrectionists," Aronberg said. "And in addition to that, he also misled the Senate. He appeared on Russian TV more than 150 times, and refused to disclose that until called on it. So, the Senate wasn't pleased with that." Aronberg continued, "And then, on top of that, he is friends with this Nazi sympathizer...He actually gave this guy an award. He called him extraordinary. This is a guy who dresses up as Adolf Hitler, who has a copy of Mein Kampf, who has made horrible comments about Jewish people." Aronberg said that Tillis's defiance of Trump's pick has surely garnered him praise from Senate Republicans who were reluctant to speak out. "You can rest assured that the other Republican senators are giving Tillis a pat on the back because they did not want to go on the board and have to vote for this guy," Aronberg said. "So, behind closed doors, I'm sure they're very pleased with their colleague from North Carolina." Watch the clip below via CNN or click here.

MAGA TV host Gina Loudon revealed that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) was punishing members of the state legislature who supported President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.During a Wednesday panel on Real America's Voice, Loudon said she had access to inside information from state lawmakers."One of the things that my friends in the legislature are telling me is that a lot of things aren't getting done, because there is still such a chasm, politically, in the mind of Ron DeSantis, Governor DeSantis, over anyone who ever supported Trump for anything," she explained. "So if you did, he won't support your legislation. He might kill it, just to spite you. And it's really—it's been a mess."Loudon said that Trump and DeSantis each had their own "army" in the legislature."And it's kind of a mess, because we have real problems in Florida like this, like our insurance issue," she continued. "We've got some people being put out of business over some weird regulations that are good, solid, conservative businesspeople. And it can't get fixed because of this."ALSO READ: 'Sad white boys': Fear as Trump terror adviser shrugs off threat from 'inside the house'"But this really is a problem in the state of Florida, and it shouldn't be happening here," Loudon said. "We don't want any of this malarkey happening here.""More of it is cropping its ugly head, because the left is onto the fact that there is this squabble going on in our legislature, and it's dividing Republicans, and they can't use their majority to get things done."Watch the video below from Real America's Voice or click here.
