Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) pressed New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) to pardon former President Trump following his recent conviction in his hush money trial.
“Donald Trump is a serial liar, cheater, and philanderer, a six-time declarer of corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection, and a convicted felon who thrives on portraying himself as a victim,” Phillips said in a post on social platform X Friday.
“@GovKathyHochul should pardon him for the good of the country.”
Because that makes total sense. God forbid Donnie face any fucking consequences. Who gives a shit if his base is pissed let them be. We do not kowtow to fascists.
There is a decent chance this actually happens. If the sentence is actually prison time, that chance goes up to near 100%. Politicians have had this weird sort of pact that they don’t typically go after each other legally when they should (because the implication is it’ll happen to them too), and when they get in trouble they pardon each other. As the late, great George Carlin said: It’s one big club. And you’re not in it.
