Reactions pour in after Trump is found guilty 34 times
Donald Trump can now add “convicted felon” to his unfortunate list of historic firsts. A New York City jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records Thursday. Reactions to the verdict have run the gamut, from jubilance to MAGA-crybaby snowflake tears. President Joe Biden’s communications director, Michael Tyler, released a statement saying that the decision shows “no one is above the law.” “[T]oday’s verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality,” the statement continues. “There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box. Convicted felon or not, Trump will the Republican nominee for president.” Meanwhile, Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson had a different take. “Today is a shameful day in American history,” he tweeted. On the other hand: Poor Donald Trump Jr. isn’t taking it too well. OAN’s front page wedged in the term “so-called.” Fox News, meanwhile, got “rigged” and “disgraceful” into its front page. Other people found new ways to frame the historic moment. For his part, Trump did what he always does: squeeze his cultists for any cash they have lying around. Of course, it is hard to know what is truly happening behind the scenes today in Trumpland. You can’t do a Trump reactions story without touching on this meme. And you can’t talk about 34 counts this many times without the Count! But the clear winner is this one: Campaign Action
