Fetterman flummoxes lefty ‘The View’ hosts by saying Trump’s NYC hush-money trial was ‘politically motivated’
NY Post ^ | 1/27/25 | Chris Nesi

US Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) sent “The View” host Sunny Hostin into a tizzy Monday when he asserted that President Trump’s New York City “hush money” trial had been politically motivated.

Appearing on the far-left ABC chat show in his trademark hoodie, Fetterman started out by covering a wide range of topics with the hosts, from Hunter Biden to Trump’s pardon of the Jan. 6 rioters.

The first-term senator had already rankled his fellow Democrats by visiting Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month — a meeting he called “overall, a positive experience” on “The View,” adding that he felt the president was “kind” and “cordial” during their hourlong conversation.

While discussing Hunter Biden on the show, Fetterman then let slip that he believed Trump’s widely publicized Manhattan trial — in which he was given a no-penalty sentence Jan. 10 — was more about politics than the facts of the case.

“I’m on record criticizing, going after Hunter Biden. And I also agree that the [Trump hush-money] trial in this city, in New York, was politically motivated,” Fetterman said.

“That wouldn’t otherwise have been prosecuted if it was someone else,” he said, noting he was “all about delivering second chances.”

Hostin, through thinly veiled outrage, held Fetterman’s feet to the fire over his assertion.

“Just for clarification: Did you mean that the 34-count case in which Donald Trump was found guilty of various financial crimes was politically motivated here in New York?” the former prosecutor asked.

To be fair, I am not, and never have been convinced that was a fair election. Period.

But be as it may...ugh. Pennsylvania. A hot mess of electoral BS. A real feat they were able to swing it to Trump last November.
