The unprecedented security measures at the U.S. Capitol are “absolutely unnecessary” and intended to stoke fear, Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) told “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo. . . .

Although he cannot share confidential intelligence information, “I can tell you what my personal opinion and my belief is,” Turner said:

This is absolutely unnecessary. And the American public know it. When — in 9/11, when the Capitol itself was a target, we didn’t go to a wall and razor wire around — around the Capitol.

This is absolutely being done by Nancy Pelosi. Remember, this is a woman who said that walls are immoral to protect the American public and our border. And now we have this wall all the way around the Capitol.

I believe it’s part of their narrative of fear. They want to project fear of the American public, and even — as you know, we have metal detectors now going to the House floor to vote — fear of even their other members of Congress.

This is absolutely the wrong signal to be sending to the American public. And, certainly, in a free democracy, we certainly shouldn’t be aware — be afraid of the people who are the American public. . . .

Editor’s Note: Turner also said:

“And, again, you have statements by the Speaker and statements by other members of the Democratic leadership saying that there are members that are afraid of other Republican members.

“This is all part of perpetuating that culture of fear against the American public, against Republicans, and certainly against those who supported Donald Trump.” . . .

“All of these are issues that people are very concerned about,” Turner said.

“And I think it’s part of that radical agenda. They’re trying to get these things done early, so that the American public just accept them, even though the American public reject them.” . . .

Dear Heavenly Father how long must we endure the slander and false attacks of these wicked people? Lord I pray for the day we are free of their lies and fear mongering. Lord show us the way forward against them. Let the evil house of cards they have built one lie at a time come tumbling down. In Jesus precious name I pray O’ Lord, Amen.
