In remarks outside of the courthouse, Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, expressed solidarity with Trump during a trial that he slammed as a political hit job aimed at hindering his presidential campaign.
Vance who was joined by fellow Trump allies Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird and Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall decried the hush money trial as a sham prosecution, argued that Trump should be on the campaign trail and sought to discredit Cohens testimony.
Vance echoed Trumps claims that the trial is part of an election interference effort by Democrats, saying without evidence that every single person involved in this prosecution is practically a Democratic political operative.
Whats going on inside that courtroom is a threat to American democracy, Vance said.
Trying to incite violence is what they are doing.

(47,932 posts)Trump has been on the phone over the weekend calling them and asking them to show their support publicly with an implied "or else_____". I'm sure they would rather not be there.

Vance does not like the fact that his guy is finally being held accountable. This has nothing to do with this trial being "a threat to American democracy." Laws were broken, JD!
Maybe it is time for a sequel to your hillbilly book, JD!
