Washington D.C. – Senator Ashley Moody (R-FL) recently escalated her rhetoric against the Democratic Party, accusing them of acting as "agents of foreign agencies" that seek to destabilize American institutions. Moody, a prominent supporter of former President Donald Trump, made the remarks during a televised interview, further stating that "radicals" within federal agencies are like "termites" requiring "fumigation."
Moody's comments, made on Fox News, came amidst discussions surrounding ongoing Justice Department investigations into former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan. "This is not retribution, this is fumigation," Moody stated, referring to the probes. She asserted that these individuals and others are "destabilizing" and "weakening" federal institutions.
The Florida Senator's strong language aligns with a broader narrative from some Republican figures who accuse political opponents of undermining the government. Moody emphasized her belief that President Trump is "bringing back integrity and accountability" to these institutions, allowing the American people to "be restored in their belief" in them. She argued that federal agencies should not operate as tools of a political party's agenda.
Moody, who previously served as Florida's Attorney General, has been a vocal critic of what she perceives as Democratic obstruction to the Trump administration's agenda, particularly on issues such as immigration. Her statements reflect a growing polarization in political discourse, where accusations of undermining national stability are increasingly common from both sides of the aisle. The senator's remarks underscore the intense political climate surrounding the Trump administration's efforts to reshape federal government and its ongoing clashes with Democratic opposition.
