    In a separate appearance on Fox News, Lauro claimed that Trump is being prosecuted for “what he believed in and the policies and the political speech that he carried out as president.”

    No he’s not. Do these people take everything from Fox at face value? The charges are public information and they’re all actual crimes.

    The party of law & order should really let the justice system do it’s job on this one.

      I know a couple people that ride the Trump train pretty hard and 100% yes. It blows my mind that people actually believe this as unbiased news and any conversation leads to just repeating the same thing.

      My “libertarian” friend refused to watch the Jan 6th hearing, but declared with conviction that we were throwing grandma’s in jails for peacefully protesting.

      He was aghast that I supported the “murder” of Ashley Bobbit. Who was “peacefully protesting”.

      I showed him the actual videos surrounding her death, of her violently breaking through the door, the multiple warnings, and the context around congressmen being trapped in the next room with no other exit.

      He was shocked for about 30 seconds, and then he dismissed it by moving to another topic where liberals are evil. It almost seemed like he would have a moment of introspection that maybe his news sources were not being honest with him.

      And he’ll vehemently deny being a republican or conservative, and says Fox News is mostly trash (while saying it’s not as bad as CNN).
