Ex-GOP Comms Director Unleashes Her Truth About 'MAGA World' After Verdict Hoax
HuffPost
Tara Setmayer let loose on MSNBC following a debunked Facebook post about Trump's hush money trial that conservatives ran with anyway.
A former GOP communications director on Capitol Hill slammed “MAGA world” for running with a reportedly debunked Facebook post about former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial. (Watch the video below.)
Tara Setmayer said Trump’s followers are living in a “truth-free” universe in an interview with MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin on Sunday.
Mohyeldin had noted how conservatives completely bought a Facebook entry supposedly from the cousin of a juror who claimed that Trump would be convicted before the verdict was announced. Judge Juan Merchan, who oversaw the trial, shared the post with Trump’s legal team and prosecutors.
In a cynical belief that the fix was in, Fox News’ Sean Hannity called for a mistrial, and other right-wing personalities cried foul.
Mohyeldin predicted that Trump and surrogates will continue to promote the random post as evidence of injustice, even though the author was a self-avowed “professional shitposter” who said they were merely trolling.
