Conservatives Denounce Guilty Verdict in Trump’s Hush Money Trial

Conservatives are reacting furiously after a jury in New York City found former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts he was facing in his hush money trial.

Thursday went down in history as first time a former president was found guilty of a felony.

And Trump reacted calling the proceeding a “rigged disgraceful trial,” and vowing to “keep fighting.”

“We’ll fight to the end and we’ll win. Because our country has gone to hell. We don’t have the same country anymore,” he added.

Moments after the decision was announced, conservatives took to X to blast it:

My statement on President Trump trial verdict:

Today is a shameful day in American history. Democrats cheered as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on ridiculous charges, predicated on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon. This was a purely political…

An absolute travesty — and, in all likelihood, a massive Constitutional mess https://t.co/JyQheBvljn

Import the Third World, become the Third World. That’s what we just saw. This won’t stop Trump. He’ll win the election if he’s not killed first. But it does mark the end of the fairest justice system in the world. Anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your…

This decision is a disgrace to the rule of law and our Constitution.

Dems invented a felony to "get Trump," with the help of a Soros funded prosecutor and a Biden donor Judge, who rigged the entire case to get this outcome.

This isn't justice, it's election interference.

Guilty on all counts. The Democrats have succeeded in their years long attempt to turn America into a third-world shithole. November 5 is our last chance to save it.

Biden & Democrats have convicted the leading presidential candidate for fake crimes with a rigged judge and jury, and the most likely response from Republicans will be angry statements to media, strongly worded letters, calls for hearings.

Our side must realize what time it is.

A travesty and abuse of the legal system that should embarrass everyone who fashioned and supported it.

This is a dark day for America.

This entire trial has been a sham, and it is nothing more than political persecution. The only reason they prosecuted Donald Trump is because Democrats are terrified that he will win reelection.

This disgraceful decision is legally baseless and…

The verdict in New York is a complete travesty that makes a mockery of our system of justice

A political show trial conducted by an openly pro-Biden judge whose daughter makes money off the case, a jury from the most liberal county in America, absurd and ridiculous charges and…

The charges stemmed from hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.
