"...Here's the thing: I'm sitting in prison thinking about this. It just eats at me—is the Democrats come for your kids. They're indoctrinating them with poisonous attitudes on race and gender. And here's the thing: when politics fails, the investigations and prosecutions begin. They did it to me. They're going to do it to Trump, but hear me out. They've also done it to Catholics, pro-life activists, and parents—parents!— who are just standing up for the kids at school board meetings..." -Peter Navarro, formerly President Trump's Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy

[PJMedia.com] The recent attempt on former President Donald Trump's life was ghastly. Yet conservatives have long been horrified by the propensity of the Biden administration Gestapo—I mean, Dept. of Justice—to round up its enemies via pre-dawn raids and frog-march them into the federal clink.

The unprecedented, norms-shattering raid on a past president's private residence over a paperwork complaint that has since been tossed out of court was the most visible and galling of these abuses. But there have been Trump-ally and other conservative victims a-plenty, and we've told their stories here at PJ Media. One of them is Peter Navarro, who served in the last administration as President Trump's Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy. And tonight, he arrived fresh from prison to address the delegates at the RNC Convention in Milwaukee.

A past senior White House aide to President Trump, Navarro refused to play along with the January 6 select committee as it abused taxpayer resources to build a political narrative. The committee placed him in contempt and referred the case to Biden's infamously weaponized DOJ, which arrested and prosecuted Navarro for criminal contempt of Congress.

As you may recall, Biden's goons made a spectacle of the arrest, apprehending the then-72-year-old in the Nashville Airport and placing him in handcuffs and leg irons as they sought to humiliate him in public. A swamp jury convicted Navarro and, after his appeals failed, he reported to federal prison last March. "I will walk proudly in there to do my time," Navarro said at a press conference at a gas station, before turning himself in. "I will gather strength from this: Donald John Trump is the nominee."

On Wednesday, Navarro, now 75, was released after serving his four-month sentence in the Miami pen.

The freed warrior immediately flew to Wisconsin to join the RNC Convention.

The crowd went wild when Navarro came out on the stage. He looked good—bright, sharp, well-groomed, and full of vim and vigor. For a full minute, the crowd cheered, women screamed, and people chanted, "Fight! Fight! Fight!" before he could even begin his remarks. And when he finally did speak, every word out of his mouth was pure fire... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
