Rep. Ronny Jackson has been on an explosive Trumpian Twitter tear, framing everything that happens as a war or a debacle — even paying homage by using the former president’s ALL CAPS style.
Jackson took aim recently at such diverse targets as the FBI and pop singer Rihanna — and it was not about the latter’s music. Both targets are, according to Jackson, enemies of the people.
On Twitter, Jackson wrote that “Joe Biden is using his FBI to target Catholics. WOW! The FBI has truly become the enemy of the people. They’ve actually declared war on Christians now!! UNBELIEVABLE!”
Apparently “devout Catholic” Joe Biden is using his FBI to target Catholics. WOW! The FBI has truly become the enemy of the people. They’ve actually declared war on Christians now!! UNBELIEVABLE!

Jackson didn’t include a link, but he is doubtless referring to a story that has been covered mainly by conservative media outlets about a retracted document from the FBI’s Richmond office purported to describe a certain segment of Catholic worshippers as potential radical extremists. The document was retracted as sourcing for the claim was questioned.
Jackson also targeted the Super Bowl, where the halftime performer this year is Rihanna, the entertainer and lingerie and cosmetics mogul.
In Jackson’s fiery opinion, the Super Bowl has made a mistake in selecting Rihanna and he accuses the singer of “badmouthing America every chance she gets.”
Rihanna spray painted “F*** Donald Trump” on a car at the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo. She’s made a career of spewing degenerate filth while badmouthing America every chance she gets. Why is the NFL showcasing this crap? Rihanna SHOULD NOT be the halftime performer!!
