Peter Navarro's Fiery Return at RNC Draws Cheers: "I Went to Prison So You Don’t Have To"

Former Trump White House aide Peter Navarro made a dramatic return to the political stage at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday, greeted with thunderous applause and chants of "fight." Fresh out of federal prison, Navarro captivated the audience with his defiant recount of his ordeal.

Navarro, 75, spent four months in prison after being convicted of contempt of Congress. His sentence followed his refusal to comply with a subpoena from the Democrat-controlled January 6 committee, citing executive privilege.

Navarro laid out a chilling narrative of Democrat-led persecution:

• Nancy Pelosi created the "sham" January 6 committee, demanding Navarro betray President Trump by violating executive privilege.

• Attorney General Merrick Garland and Jack Smith prosecuted him for criminal contempt, a move Navarro argued they wouldn’t dare against their own.

"What did I do? I refused," Navarro declared, triggering a wave of applause. "The J6 committee demanded that I betray Donald John Trump to save my own skin. I refused."

Navarro underscored the partisan hypocrisy, noting that similar charges were never pursued against Eric Holder or Alejandro Mayorkas. "It's something that Democrat prosecutors refuse to do against one of their own," he said, highlighting the double standard.

Navarro’s warning resonated deeply: "I went to jail so you don’t have to," he repeated, emphasizing the threat facing anyone on the Right under current Democratic leadership.

His speech, marked by fervent support and chants, underscored a critical sentiment among Republicans: a need to rally against what they see as a corrupt and partisan judicial system targeting conservatives.
