Speaker Mike Johnson, top Republicans rip Trump guilty verdict as political ploy: ‘Shameful day’
Breitbart ^ | 05/30/2024 | forLia Eustachewich

Posted on 05/30/2024 5:40:16 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

House Speaker Mike Johnson joined other top congressional Republicans in blasting former President Donald Trump’s historic felony conviction Thursday as “a purely political exercise” and “weaponization of our justice system” by President Biden.

“Today is a shameful day in American history. Democrats cheered as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on ridiculous charges, predicated on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon,” Johnson (R-La.) railed minutes after a Manhattan jury announced it found the Republican presidential candidate guilty on all 34 counts in his hush money trial.

Have we heard from Nimrata?

You know she has a scheme to replace DJT with the blessings of the GOP leadership.

I said, and I still say, RDS was a terrible candidate here in NH. But he did the right thing today and I salute him.

The world is laughing.
Does anyone think any head of state will even consider anything this government says after this?

“Herr Biden.” “Congratulations on your night of long knives.”

They won’t even give us a slight of thought. “Your preaching to us while your running a banana republic?”

Talk, talk, talk....in the morning, Mike will be back to making sure Biden gets his funding.

If nothing else, let’s get rid of the Republican party. At this point, there is nothing else to try. the country is nearly lost, we are out of most other civil options.

(Phew...now waiting on Jim Jordan)

His staff is working on a strongly worded letter right now!

Oops! Edit update.

From Jim Jordan:

Rep. Jim Jordan
@Jim_Jordan

The verdict is a travesty of justice.

The Manhattan kangaroo court shows what happens when our justice system is weaponized by partisan prosecutors in front of a biased judge with an unfair process, designed to keep President Trump off the campaign trail and avoid bringing attention to President Biden’s failing radical policies.

Americans see through Democrats’ lawfare tactics and know President Trump will be vindicated on appeal.

The real travesty of justice is that no Republicans are after Joe in court. Where are their lawsuits?

A little too late. Republicans falter, Democrats stick together like glue.
