FIRST ON FOX: Former Vice President Mike Pence reacted on Friday to the criminal conviction of former President Donald Trump in a New York City courtroom and said a "terrible message" has been sent.
"The conviction of former President Trump on politically motivated charges is an outrage and disservice to the nation," Pence told Fox News Digital.
"No one is above the law, but our courts must not become a tool to be used against political opponents," Pence continued. "To millions of Americans, this was nothing more than a political prosecution driven by a Manhattan DA who ran for office on a pledge to indict the former president and this conviction undermines confidence in our system of justice."
"This conviction also sends a terrible message to the wider world about the American justice system and only further divides us at a time when the American people are struggling under the failed policies of the Biden administration at home and abroad," he added.
Pence continued, "Having been convicted in a court of law, the former president has every right to appeal this conviction and I trust it will be overturned on appeal in a manner that will restore public confidence in our system of justice and equal treatment under the law."

Mike who?
For once, Judas Iscariot Pence and I agree on something.
Boy Scout Pence.
Why does this jockey think anyone cares about his opinions?!
Traitor rat. Notice how long he waits so he can figure out which way the wind is blowing.
Haven’t you caused enough problems, Pence? Go away. Typical. Do nothing until nothing can be done. Worse, you are part of the reason this happened. So, if I punch you in the face and then turn around and tell you not to hit yourself on my fist, what would that make me?
A little late to the party eh Mike?
Once a traitor, always a traitor.
Pence feels obligated to say something, but no doubt, he’s personally celebrating the guilty verdict as much as the democrats are.
” but our courts must not become a tool to be used against political opponents”
They already have.
I trust it will be overturned on appeal in a manner that will restore public confidence in our system of justice and equal treatment under the law.”
= = =
Sorry, an overturn will bring about peaceful protests.
COWARD!
“ No one is above the law, but our courts must not become a tool to be used against political opponents,”
Well, obviously they have.
This guy is such a fake
Plastic man got a new 9V battery
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
Mike is mouthing the exact same ‘concern trolling’ remarks I am expecting to hear from Bill Barr before this week is out.
Hey, Mike. You have read your cue card. You may go back under your rock now.
