Peter Navarro’s impassioned speech at the Republican convention in Milwaukee was a defiant proclamation against what he perceives as unjust persecution by the Biden administration. Navarro, freshly released from federal prison in Miami, opened his address with a bold assertion of his experience and a warning to his audience: “If they can come for me, if they can come for Donald Trump, be careful, they will come for you.”
Navarro recounted the sequence of events that led to his imprisonment, attributing it to political vendettas and a disregard for constitutional principles. He targeted each branch of the government, accusing them of orchestrating his downfall. “The legislative branch came for me first,” Navarro declared, referring to Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th committee’s demands to violate executive privilege, which he staunchly refused.
He continued his narrative, criticizing the executive branch under Merrick Garland for prosecuting him criminally for contempt of Congress, contrasting this with the leniency shown to Democratic figures like Eric Holder. Navarro’s harshest critique was reserved for the judiciary, particularly highlighting judges like Juan Marshawn and Amit Mehta, whom he accused of stripping away his defenses and ensuring an anti-Trump bias in his trial.
Navarro’s comments extended beyond his personal grievances to broader criticisms of the Biden administration’s policies. He condemned Biden’s immigration policies, alleging they have opened the borders to criminals and threatened American jobs. He also blamed economic policies like the Green New Deal for job losses and inflation.
