I think it&#8217;s terrible and I&#8217;m just hoping that you guys are gonna fight for them to get pardons.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to win the White House,&#8221; Schweikert replied.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So that can happen?&#8221; Windsor pressed. &#8220;If we have the White House, we can do that, but not &#8217;til we win the White House?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we have the White House, we can do that,&#8221; Schweikert stated, adding that when it comes to the FBI, and the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/jack-posobiec-on-mtg-witch-hunt-they-were-trying-to-disqualify-her-in-the-name-of-democracy\/\">witch hunts<\/a>,&#8221; he wanted Jim Jordan on the House Oversight Committee because that &#8220;every one of those documents from the FBI goes to his committee.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you gonna hold them accountable?&#8221; Windsor asked. &#8220;Are we going to be able to defund the FBI?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t want to defund them,&#8221; Schweikert explained, &#8220;you want to break them up, it&#8217;s different. You wanna be able to ship out anyone that&#8217;s political \u2026 because you&#8217;re not going to be able to defund them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked if they could defund the &#8220;witch hunts&#8221; and investigations, he said, &#8220;exactly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can you impeach Chris Wray?&#8221; Windsor asked, referring to the director of the FBI.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sure, sure, sure, cool,&#8221; he replied.<\/p>\n<p>Schweikert explained that Wray was not the highest on his &#8220;to impeach&#8221; list, with DHS Secretary Mayorkas and Secretary of State Antony Blinken earning the top two spots. He suggested that the latter &#8220;has worked to open up Communist-Socialist governments around the world, and taking away American values around the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re doin&#8217; the Lord&#8217;s work, you really are,&#8221; Windsor said before walking away.<\/p>\n<p>Following the event, WIndsor posted her footage on Twitter. While it received praise from Democrats, the Project Veritas-style mission was largely celebrated by Republicans as well, many of whom saw it as essentially a free campaign ad for Schweikert with the midterm elections just weeks away.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This clip has everything,&#8221; Jack Posobiec wrote on Twitter. &#8220;Republicans just want to protect babies and expose the FBI.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lauren Windsor posting GOP Ws,&#8221; another user wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You seem to believe this \u2026 is some sort of &#8216;gotcha&#8217;, in reality, this could be a campaign ad,&#8221; stated yet another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, Lauren Windsor of the political reporting web-show The Undercurrent secretly recorded Arizona Republican Dave Schweikert during a &#8220;pro-family&#8221; event in Scottsdale.
