Boom !!!
Several of the below Republicans are Christians or with faith in a religion... they know right from wrong unlike many of Trump's followers including adversary Ron DeSantis whom I believe will place his bet by talking about the weaponization of the DOJ (it was Trump that passed a law for such by going after Hillary Clinton) on kissing Trump's ring even if Trump is convicted...betting he (DeSantis) will become Vice President.
Hopefully, DeSantis's wife will slap some sense into her husband before he does the unthinkable...partnering up with Trump.
Regardless, this is much different than the prior indictments. There are sworn statements from aides to Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and Trump's own words/voice on recordings...overwhelming evidence from
Republicans themselves.
- What are the Republican candidates saying ???
Former Vice President Mike Pence: “Today's indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States," Pence said in a statement. "On January 6th, Former President Trump demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution. I chose the Constitution and I always will.
Asa Hutchinson released a statement: "I have always said that Donald Trump is morally responsible for the attack on our democracy. Now, our system of Justice will determine whether he is criminally responsible. The latest indictment reaffirms my earlier call that Donald Trump should step away from the campaign for the good of the country. If not, the voters must choose a different path."
Will Hurd said in a statement: "Let me be crystal clear: Trump's presidential bid is driven by an attempt to stay out of prison and scam his supporters into footing his legal bills. Furthermore, his denial of the 2020 election results and actions on Jan. 6 show he's unfit for office."
Vivek Ramaswamy reiterated his commitment to pardoning Trump if elected president: “The corrupt federal police just won’t stop until they’ve achieved their mission: eliminate Trump. This is un-American & I commit to pardoning Trump for this indictment. Donald Trump isn’t responsible for what happened on Jan 6. The real cause was systematic & pervasive censorship of citizens in the year leading up to it."
Ron DeSantis vowed to reform the Justice Department if elected: "As President, I will end the weaponization of government, replace the FBI Director, and ensure a single standard of justice for all Americans. While I’ve seen reports, I have not read the indictment. I do, though, believe we need to enact reforms so that Americans have the right to remove cases from Washington, DC to their home districts."
I'm waiting for Mitch McConnell's statement...considering the public interest demands this case be tried within one year, especially about a January 3rd meeting in the White House about "fake electors".
Someone(s) has flipped on Trump.
- Where was President Biden ???
Iconically, President Joe Biden was at a movie theater in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware,
watching Oppenheimer when the grand jury handed up the indictment.
