The fairest justice system in the world is dead.

That is the assessment of X commentator Tucker Carlson after former President Donald Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts.

In a post on X, Carlson wrote, “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,” he declared.

Additionally, he claimed, “Anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your family.”

On Thursday, Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in an attempt to cover up a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. 

Conservatives have criticized the case and alleged it was an example of selective prosecution against Trump. 

Additionally, they have took issue with the legal theory of the case which bumped the charges up from misdemeanors to felonies on the basis that business records were falsified in furtherance of another crime. And while the prosecution did not precisely make clear what the other crime was, it argued the falsification was done in furtherance of a campaign finance violation in closing arguments.

After the verdict, Trump delivered brief remarks from the courthouse.

“This is a rigged disgraceful trial. The real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people,” he told reporters.

Trump claimed, “We didn’t do a thing wrong. I’m a very innocent man. It’s okay. I’m fighting for our country, I’m fighting for our Constitution. Our whole country is being rigged right now. This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt a political opponent.”

Even those who are not the most ardent supporters of the former president spoke out. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) posted on X, “These charges never should have been brought in the first place. I expect the conviction to be overturned on appeal.”

Trump is expected to appeal the verdict.
