This may be the first time I've ever agreed with Alberto Gonzales.

Except his "both sides" bullshit comment.

DOJ has an ‘obligation’ and can then ’deal with the repercussions of MAGA violence: Alberto Gonzalez

Former George W. Bush Attorney General Alberto Gonzales argued on CNN on Tuesday that current Attorney General Merrick Garland has an obligation to enforce the law and should not be deterred by Donald Trump supporters threatening violence if their MAGA leader is arrested.

CNN's Kasie Hunt played a clip of President Joe Biden discussing the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol while campaigning in Pennsylvania.

"My Republican friends in Congress, don't tell me you support law enforcement if you won't condemn what happened on the 6th," Biden said. "Don't tell me."

"What do you make of that?" Hunt asked. "President Biden responding to President Trump and many of his supporters?"

"You know, I would go a little but further," Gonzales replied. "I would say don't tell me you believe in the rule of law, don't tell me you believe in democracy, if you are not willing to condemn what happened on Jan. 6 so listen, i think we have issues on both sides of the aisle, quite frankly, but I certainly agree with the sentiment that don't tell me that you support the police if you're not willing to condemn what happened on Jan. 6."

1. Yeah, the "both sides" part is false equivalency, but the rest is right.
