Right Wing Broadcaster Asks Trump Fans In NYC To Do Something Very Illegal
HuffPost
Clay Travis suggested Trump supporters who are part of the jury pool “do everything you can to get seated on the jury and then refuse to convict.”
A right-wing broadcaster is asking Donald Trump supporters in New York to do the wrong thing.
The former president’s hush money trial got underway on Monday, and right-wing broadcast Clay Travis took to X, formerly Twitter, to implore Trump fans in the Big Apple to commit a felony to help their fearless leader.
Travis suggested that any Trump supporter “who is a part of the jury pool, do everything you can to get seated on the jury and then refuse to convict as a matter of principle, dooming the case via hung jury.”
He added: “It’s the most patriotic thing you could possibly do.”
It is a federal crime to lie to get on a jury. Since jurors are only supposed to make a verdict based solely on evidence presented during a trial, many people on social media pointed out Travis’ suggestion may count as jury tampering, a felony.
