Thom Tillis Says He’ll Oppose Extremist DOJ Nominee

May 6, 2025 Extremists, Republicans

Politico reports:

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis said Tuesday he has told the White House he will oppose Ed Martin’s nomination to be the top federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia, a potentially fatal blow to his already dicey confirmation chances.

Tillis spoke to reporters after meeting with Martin on Monday night. The North Carolinian, who is seeking reelection next year, had previously signaled he had concerns with Martin’s nomination as U.S. attorney because of his previous comments related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack and his work defending those who took part in the riot. “I have no tolerance for anybody that entered the building on Jan. 6, and that’s probably where most of the friction was,” Tillis said Tuesday.

Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the top Democrat on the panel, said “in practical terms” Martin’s nomination is dead. “The writing’s on the wall,” Durbin said. “He has some problems in his own ranks.”

It’s all now up to Grassley, who tells Politico that he doesn’t put forward nominees “who don’t have the votes.”

Below, convicted rioter and former West Virginia state Rep. Derrick Evans is riling up the cult against Tillis, who’ll likely get the usual death threats.

Martin has spent the last month threatening legal weed dispensaries, medical and science journals, Wikipedia, journalists, and anybody else he considers “woke.”
