Lindsey Graham offered up what has become the standard Republican response to Trump’s prosecution. Unlike Trump, and most of the party’s voters, Graham did not insist Trump had legitimately won the 2020 election. Instead, he argued on Fox News that it is wrong to criminalize Trump’s attempt to secure an unelected second term. “This should be decided at the ballot box and not in a bunch of liberal jurisdictions trying to put the man in jail,” he complained. “They’re weaponizing the law.”
Worse, he predicted, the successful use of a state prosecution would unleash copycat tactics on the right. “This is setting a bad precedent,” continued Graham, “and what I fear is, you’re changing the game in America and there’s no going back. We’re in for a very hard time if this becomes the norm.”
So, one of his arguments is that conservatives would try to game the system to go after dems, if the dems do it first? Right, like they did to Clinton, Obama and Biden? Who are they trying to fool?
The same people they've been fooling into voting for them for years. This is just propaganda speech delegitimizing the judicial process when they're held to account for their crimes.
It's the language of the abuser. "See what you're making me do to you?"
We already decided this at the ballot box. And during trump's impeachments, you said they should be decided in the courts.
Here we are.
