US District Court Judge Reggie Walton said Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.
Walton made the comments Thursday following the conviction of a January 6 defendant.
Walton was appointed by former President George W. Bush.
A federal judge on Thursday called Donald Trump a threat to democracy, accusing the former president of instigating a mob of "weak-minded" followers to attack the US Capitol on January 6, Politico reported.
"I think our democracy is in trouble," US District Judge Reggie Walton said, "because, unfortunately, we have charlatans like our former president who doesn't, in my view, really care about democracy but only about power."
Walton, who was appointed to the DC Circuit by former President George W. Bush, lashed out at Trump after the jury trial of a January 6 insurrectionist.
Dustin Thompson, 38, was convicted of obstructing Congress as it tried to certify President Joe Biden's victory — a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison. According to prosecutors, he walked to the US Capitol after Trump implored his supporters to "fight like hell," breaking into the Senate parliamentarian's office and stealing a bottle of liquor.

The judge should be disqualified immediately for not knowing the USA is a Republic instead of a democracy.
Agreed
“Reggie Walton”
Known Ring Master of a Clown Circus.
Chronic TDSer.
Actually our Republic is in trouble with moron and evil judges like these.
I care about democracy - I’m against it.
So what?
When Americans want any crap out of “judge” Reggie N. Veronica, we’ll unscrew his head and dip it out. He needs to shut his bigass mouth about President Trump. Trump wasn’t on trial in his court so he needs to shut the **** up! Moron.
What does Traitor Roberts have to say about Federal Kangaroos running Federal Courts?
Just looked at little boy Reggie’s mugshot. Damn racist pig.
Reggie Walton is a Democrat shill.
Thanks for your personal opinion judge. Not sure what it has to do with the law. If you have evidence Trump broke it, why not whip it out?
Otherwise blow your opinion out your fat arse.
Reggie doesn’t sound impartial. Reggie sounds like a brainwashed idiot. Reggie must be an Obama or Clinton appointee.
“...stealing a bottle of liquor....”
There are drugs in the Capitol?
Do Pelousy and Schmuckie know?
McCarthy?
Straight, dyed in the wool Democrat operative. It’s Party first for his ilk. The oath he swore was merely mumbled words to get his position.
Is Reggie Walton the dumb black guy judge???
Yup
His mouth disqualifies him.
Even worse. He was appointed by George W. Bush.
So drinking on the job is allowed in the Congress, just not anywhere else in the federal government. Explains an awful lot.
“Actually our Republic is in trouble with moron and evil judges like these.”
I agree, but we are also in trouble with media like Business Insider.
Dustin Thompson, 38,
will be filing for a mistrial
