Commentary | Trump’s historic criminal indictment all but clinches another GOP presidential nomination – By Heather Digby Parton (Salon) / Mar 31 2023
The party that wanted to “lock her up” has little choice but to rally around a criminally indicted Donald Trump
If you wondered what that shrill, high-pitched wail you heard late yesterday afternoon was, it was the sound of millions of MAGA Republicans hysterically keening over the news that their Dear Leader, Donald Trump, had been indicted in the New York porn star hush-money case. According to social media and Fox News, this so-called “weaponization” of the government by the Democratic Party spells the end of the Republic as we know it, and “the people” aren’t going to stand for it.
Trump released a statement that began:
“This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history. From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats – the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country – have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement.”
Same old, same old.
