As former President Donald Trump’s indictments pile up, so do his poll numbers and that’s because of people like Randy Toenjes.
The 68-year-old corn and soybean farmer said he had intended to keep an open mind in the GOP presidential primary, but he ditched that plan in favor of support for Mr. Trump as he saw prosecutors in New York, Georgia and the Justice Department bring charges against the former president.
Republicans also argue those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, have been treated more harshly than left-wing protesters from Portland, Oregon, and other cities that exploded in riots in the summer of 2020, which included repeated attacks on federal buildings.“In the end, they are not after me, they are after you,” he said here during a recent campaign stop. “I just happen to be standing in their way.
Mr. Darrah said people have told him that they would be open to supporting another candidate, but, he said, “The problem is if another candidate is nominated then — in my words — these vile people actually win.” After years of investigation that turned up pervasive tax problems and gun law violations, the Justice Department cut a deal with Hunter Biden offering him the chance to plead guilty to minor tax charges, have the gun charges eventually erased, and do no jail time.Republicans said the way law enforcement pursued Mr. Biden also was more lenient than its pursuant of Mr. Trump.
