After Justice Samuel Alito was caught with not one but two flags signaling alliance with Donald Trump’s attempted coup, Alito responded like any MAGA acolyte would: by denying the obvious and playing the victim. In this case, he blamed his neighbors and his wife and ridiculously claimed he is “duty-bound” not to succumb to “political” calls for him to recuse himself from Jan.
Politico carries water for Trump by making it sound like Omarosa made the whole thing up:
The recording appears to show Manigault Newman, along with Trump campaign aides Katrina Pierson and Lynne Patton, discussing during the 2016 campaign how to respond to something inappropriate candidate Donald Trump said, although they do not specify on the tape what word or words he used.
The news that Trump was convicted on all 34 counts in New York went over about the way we expected it would on Fox "news." Shannon Bream asked Judge Box-O-Wine to weigh in shortly after the verdicts were read, and Pirro made it clear she was none too happy with the jurors, the judge, and DA and our entire judicial system during her unhinged rant about the United States going "over a cliff."
BREAM: But what that leaves is this White House, the Biden -Harris campaign, free now to call president Trump a convicted felon.
UH-OH! VERDICT COMING!! It's here, & it's GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! Pretty much rendering this day-before-yesterday's news. But we labor on.
