President Joe Biden's Department of Justice has taken mountains of criticism over its seeming weaponization of the system against the other side of the aisle, particularly against former President Donald Trump. 

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has, on multiple occasions, suggested that the DOJ is nothing less than "impartial," but many, including GOP lawmakers, do not believe that's the case.

Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney strongly disagreed with Garland's insistence that the Justice Department is impartial, calling him a "dirty cop."

What did she say?

"Don't let anybody think anything otherwise. That's why they're doing all these press conferences," Tenney said on the Friday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show.

Tenney's criticism came in the wake of Garland's speech last week during which he insisted that the Justice Department has not been weaponized against anyone, as many critics have claimed.

"Our norms are a promise that we will fiercely protect the independence of this Department from political interference in our criminal investigations. Our norms are a promise that we will not allow this Department to be used as a political weapon,” Garland said during his speech.

However, numerous Republicans believe the DOJ has been especially protective of Hunter Biden during the multiple investigations into his activities and criminal past.

Tenney, in her criticism, pointed to severa specific examples of obvious weaponization of the DOJ against certain people, and instances where it protected others of certain political stripes.

"There was a woman named Lesley Wolf who also was a part of that case, who made sure they [the DOJ] didn't go and investigate a storage unit where it was revealed that Hunter Biden had evidence stored," Tenney said.

Social media reacts

Users across social media had their own opinions regarding the DOJ's seeming protection over Hunter Biden.

"She is correct…Thank God he wasn’t approved for the Supreme Court," one X user wrote.

Another X user wrote, "Garland is to Biden/Harris as Hermann Göring was to Hitler, His enforcer."
