Following the lawfare trial verdict in New York, some say we are now a banana republic. Others believe the United States is now a socialist Marxist nation. Here’s some comments as the expected guilty verdict was announced:

Conn Carroll, Washington Examiner commentary editor:

“Through two primaries and two general elections I have never voted for Trump. I would crawl over broken glass to vote for him now.”

Tucker Carlson – tweet"

“Import the Third World, become the Third World. That’s what we just saw. This won’t stop Trump. He’ll win the election if he’s not killed first. But it comes to mark the end of the fairest justice system in the world. Anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your family.”

Sean Davis, CEO and co-founder of Federalist – interview:

“Moscow on the Hudson. Stalin himself might not have been so brazen to do what Democrats just did.”

Janet Price, President of Golden State Republican Women (excerpt from GSRW’s news release):

History is repeating itself. Our beloved United States of America was founded by those escaping the tyranny of King George. Make no mistake, the kangaroo court and its outrageous verdict was orchestrated at the very top from King Joe’s White House.

Today’s Democrat party is now the unmistakable face of tyranny that has been trying to strip America of her freedoms since her inception. But once freedom has been birthed in the heart of man, it never dies. This is now the clarion call to every patriot to reclaim our Constitution and Bill of Rights. May 31, 2024, begins the renewal of our Declaration of Independence! God Bless President Trump and God Bless America!

Shaun M. Maguire, general partner at Sequoia Capital – op-ed excerpt:

“I just donated $300k to Trump. I’m prepared to lose friends. Here’s why. Back in 2016 I had drunk the media Kool-Aid and was scared out of my mind about Trump. As such I donated to Hilary Clinton’s campaign and voted for her. By 2020 I was disillusioned and didn’t vote – I didn’t like either option.

Now, in 2024, I believe this is one of the most important elections of my lifetime, and I’m supporting Trump. I know I’ll lose friends for this. Some will refuse to do business with me. The media will probably demonize me, as they have so many others before me. But despite this, I still believe it’s the right thing to do.

I refuse to live in a society where people are afraid to speak.”

Sally Zelikovsky, Founder of 75M & Rising – message to member:

“People get that right now the best thing we can do is show support by donating to Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The other thing is talk to people you might normally avoid, about why this verdict is such a disgrace, why this criminal trial was so wrong, and why it is critical to vote for Trump.  I know it's hard; I know we've all been conditioned to avoid those conversations. So, pick your friends/family carefully, approach folks who are open-minded or on the fence and go for it.”

Jonathan Turley, George Washington University Law Professor:

“I obviously disagree with this verdict as do many others. I believe that the case will be reversed eventually either in the state or federal systems. However, this was the worst expectation for a trial in Manhattan. I am saddened by the result more for the New York legal system than the former president. I had hoped that the jurors might redeem the integrity of a system that has been used for political purposes.”

Joel Pollack, editor-at-large at Breibart News – on its website:

“President Trump will have the biggest mandate for revolutionary change since 1776.… A government that allows this to happen has to be completely gutted. You have to fire almost everyone and start over. As disturbing as today’s verdict is, we may be about to live through the most exciting period of reform in history of our country. The second American Revolution.”

Allen West, political commentator; former Florida Congressman and formerTexas Republican Party Chairman - website:

“Congratulations, Democrats — aka progressive socialist leftists — you have just elected Donald Trump. Please go out celebrate and refer to Trump as a felon.

Yep, a jury of Biden voters, in the courtroom of a judge who should have recused himself, found former President Trump guilty of charges brought forward by a Soros backed DA that were wrongfully elevated from misdemeanor to felony and were past the statute of limitations. One no previous prosecution touched.

In the meantime, Joe Biden violates the Constitution by allowing millions of illegals, including single military aged males into the country. Biden is guilty of illegally possessing classified documents and information but supposedly is too old and senile to stand trial. Biden’s son Hunter lied on ATF Form 4473 and illegally purchased a firearm.

So please, go ahead and revel in your miscarriage of justice that would make Joseph Stalin proud. We shall work hard, wait, and celebrate on November 5th when you leftist Islamic jihadists supporting tyrants and imbeciles are crushed.”

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Independent candidate for president:

“The Democratic Party's strategy is to beat President Trump in the courtroom rather than the ballot box. This will backfire in November. Even worse, it is profoundly undemocratic.

America deserves a President who can win at the ballot box without compromising our government’s separation of powers or weaponizing the courts. You can’t save democracy by destroying it first. The Democrats are afraid they will lose in the voting booth, so instead they go after President Trump in the court.” 

President Donald J. Trump Following kangaroo verdict; conflicted judge and jury May 30, 2024:

“This was a disgrace—a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who is corrupt. We will fight for our Constitution—This is long from over!”  — Donate — www.DonaldJTrump.com —
