Key Republican says party must assure voters it will impeach Garland, force overhaul at DOJ

The incoming chairman of the House Freedom Caucus says congressional Republicans must create a clear agenda and messaging in the 2022 election to overcome voter perceptions that there's little difference between the establishment parties in an era of freewheeling spending and large government.

"We need to be in contact with more individual citizens and every single district in every state bringing the message to them so that they understand what the difference is and that there is a true difference," Rep. Scott Perry told Just the News.

America "Needs a new chief executive, or somebody completely different at the top of the Justice Department, which is why I've called for and introduced articles of impeachment for Merrick Garland," Perry said during an interview this month on the John Solomon Reports podcast.

"Whether it's overly politicized use of the Justice Department on political adversaries, to going after parents, he's got to go, but we can't just have another replacement for him, we need a wholesale review and cleaning of half in the Justice Department," he said.

Perry said Republicans need to make clear next year's election is a choice between big government socialism and free market capitalism and limited government.

"That's the free market, competitive market system. And they want to replace it with a socialist, top-down government system that decides what you'll get, and how much you'll like it, including the car you drive." To draw the distinction, Republicans need a clear agenda that stands for energy independence, law and order, funding the police, securing the border, reducing spending and opposing encroaching government regulation that drives up inflation and harms workers.

For candidates who espouse that agenda, "The Freedom Caucus is going to articulate those messages right alongside you, but then also encourage you to stand by those promises by voting for them," he said.
