[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Accepting an airplane on behalf of your country [b]doesn’t strike me as corrupt[/b].

It such a weird thing for you weirdos to fixate on. [/quote]

Really? Well some prominent people on the right are criticizing it as well. Are they weirdos, too?

Ben Shapiro: “Taking sacks of goodies from people who support Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, Al Jazeera, all the rest, that’s not America First,” and argued that such actions do not align with “draining the swamp.”

Laura Loomer: “This is really going to be such a stain on the admin if this is true,” and “I’m so disappointed,” citing Qatar’s alleged ties to Hamas.

Mark Levin: Conservative radio host and Trump supporter. He shared Loomer’s post on X, writing “Ditto,” and accused Qatar of spreading “anti-American” propaganda, suggesting the jet deal does not provide Qatar the cover they seek.

Erick Erickson: Conservative talk radio host. On his show, he condemned the jet gift, arguing Qatar is not a U.S. ally and highlighting that Attorney General Pam Bondi, who reportedly approved the deal’s legality, was a former paid lobbyist for Qatar. He noted on X that many Trump supporters were unhappy with the deal.

Rand Paul: Republican Senator from Kentucky. He explicitly stated Trump should not accept the plane, saying, “I don’t think it looks good or smells good,” and questioned its legality, citing the appearance of impropriety.

Josh Hawley: Republican Senator from Missouri. He expressed preference for an American-made Air Force One, stating, “It would be better if Air Force One were a big, beautiful jet made in the United States of America.”

Rick Scott: Republican Senator from Florida and Trump supporter. He voiced concerns about safety, stating, “They support Hamas,” and said he would not fly on a Qatari plane due to security risks.

Shelley Moore Capito: Republican Senator from West Virginia and member of Senate GOP leadership. She urged the Trump administration to examine the constitutionality of the deal and expressed security concerns, saying, “I’d be checking for bugs.”

Susan Collins: Republican Senator from Maine. She noted that the gift “raises questions of whether the administration would be in compliance with the gift law.”

Lindsey Graham: Republican Senator from South Carolina. He emphasized the symbolic importance of Air Force One, stating, “When it lands or flies, it is America flying or landing, and I want to make sure this whole thing is kosher.”

Warren Davidson: Republican Representative from Ohio. He indirectly criticized the deal by invoking Hillary Clinton’s acceptance of foreign donations to her foundation, suggesting impropriety without directly naming Trump.
