<p>One-time <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-party">Democratic</a> presidential candidate <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/he-wants-to-help-people-andrew-yang-defends-dave-chappelle-after-press-hit-job-on-school-visit/">Andrew Yang</a> warned on Tuesday that the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/white-house-claims-it-was-blindsided-by-fbi-raid-on-trumps-mar-a-lago-reports/">FBI raid</a> of former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump&#8217;s</a> Florida estate could backfire and help him politically — and newly-named &#8220;The View&#8221; cohost <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/thats-not-fairsuch-a-cheap-shot-the-view-blows-up-as-alyssa-farah-griffin-and-kellyanne-conway-clash/">Alyssa Farah Griffin</a> agreed.</p>
<p>Yang laid out his case in a series of tweets, arguing that whether or not the raid was justified, it appeared to the general public to be politically motivated — and that, he said, would only help to galvanize Trump supporters who already believed that the system had been rigged against him from the beginning.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">It seems like this was authorized by a local judge and a particular FBI office without buy-in or notification of higher levels of government. But literally no one will believe that or make a distinction. It’s probably bureaucratic but it seems political.</p>

<p>&#8220;I’m no Trump fan. I want him as far away from the White House as possible. But a fundamental part of his appeal has been that it’s him against a corrupt government establishment. This raid strengthens that case for millions of Americans who will see this as unjust persecution,&#8221; Yang began.</p>
<p>He went on to explain that no matter what the actual justification was for the raid of Mar-a-Lago, most people would have a hard time seeing past the political appearance to recognize that.</p>

<p>Quoting a piece from Politico, he added, &#8220;&#8216;If they raided his home just to find classified documents he took from The White House,&#8217; one legal expert noted, &#8216;he will be re-elected president in 2024, hands down. It will prove to be the greatest law enforcement mistake in history.'&#8221;</p>

<p>Alyssa Farah Griffin, who previously worked in the Trump White House and was recently tapped to fill the lone conservative seat on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; offered a similar assessment during a Tuesday morning appearance on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;New Day.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;This, I’m hoping, goes beyond simply not complying with some archiving laws, or DOJ just handed Donald Trump the Republican nominee and potentially the presidency,&#8221; she told anchors Brianna Keilar and <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/next-week-harvey-weinstein-cnns-john-berman-blows-up-over-rudy-giulianis-masked-singer-debut/">John Berman</a>. &#8220;If it’s seen as some sort of massive overreach and not something incredibly serious, this is a very good day for Donald Trump.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;By the way, he knows how to play this up in his favor. He more or less broke this news,&#8221; she continued, noting that the former president had gone public with a statement about the raid almost as soon as people began reporting that it was underway.</p>
<p>&#8220;A Florida-based reporter had something, but he was ready to go, I’ve actually seen quite — kind of aligned messaging among Republicans. &#8216;This is, you know, a banana republic,&#8217; &#8216;this shouldn’t happen,&#8217; &#8216;if they do it to a president, the FBI will do it to you,'&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I think he’s having a good day as of now, so I hope the FBI&#8217;s buttoned up on this.&#8221;</p>
