You don’t yet know the nature of the allegations against Donald Trump, but Republicans are closing ranks at the moment. An act worthy of the “Third World”, his son was outraged. The leader of the Republican Party launched an “abuse of power”. Trump’s family, allies and even right-wing rivals on Thursday denounced the charges against the former president, saying they are designed to prevent him from returning to the White House in 2024.
Indicted by a New York grand jury in the case of paying ex-star X Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump is set to voluntarily face justice. The Manhattan District Attorney is negotiating the logistics with the former US President’s attorneys. Two have told the American media that they expect a judge to hear the indictment next Tuesday. Donald Trump set the tone and denounced “political persecution”.
his sons
“Let’s be clear guys. It’s a communist thing. It’s something that would make Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot blush,” his eldest son Don Jr. stormed on his streaming show. “I think we are in the midst of a fight for the future of our country. For our very existence,” he added, slamming the prosecutor behind the charge as “a corrupt leftist.”
On Twitter, he added that opponents of his father were “using authorities to meddle in the 2024 election to stop Trump.” “The only solution is (…) hand it over to the White House!!! He wrote. These charges were “Third World worthy,” “an opportunistic act against a political opponent in the middle of an election campaign,” added his brother Eric Trump.
His Republican rivals
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump’s main Republican rival — although he has yet to officially declare himself the 2024 presidential nominee — condemned the impeachment as “contrary to America’s values.” As for Mike Pompeo, also tipped for 2024, he ruled that prosecutor Alvin Bragg “undermined America’s confidence in our justice system” by deciding to indict a former president. Mike Pence denounced a “shame” and Nikki Haley “political persecution”. The reason: Donald Trump is still very popular with the Republican base, and not to represent him at least now would be tantamount to political suicide.
his side
Republican Party leader Ronna McDaniel tweeted that the indictment was “a blatant abuse of power by a prosecutor who is focused on political revenge rather than protecting people.” “Meanwhile, New York City, where Alvin Bragg is Manhattan District Attorney, set a new crime record last year,” the Republican Party’s official Twitter account said.
The Republican Tenors
The decision to impeach Trump has “damaged our country beyond repair,” Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said. “The American people will not tolerate this injustice,” the Republican tenor tweeted. “Scandalous,” the influential elected Jim Jordan dropped in a brief tweet.
The faithful chosen ones
It was “a dark day for America,” complained the elected Elise Stefanik and criticized the prosecutor, who was described as “socialist”. “Never have tens of millions of patriotic Americans been more mobilized to exercise their constitutional rights to peacefully organize and vote to save our great republic by electing President Donald Trump in 2024,” she said in a press release. “I’m with Trump!!! tweeted Marjorie Taylor Greene.
