Trump VP contenders torch 'guaranteed' guilty verdict: 'Complete travesty'
Fox News
Contenders to be former President Donald Trump's running mate slammed his guilty verdict handed down by the judge in his New York City trial.
"This decision is a disgrace to the rule of law and our Constitution," Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance wrote on X. "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." Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News. Follow him on X at @BGillespieAL.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio called the verdict a "complete travesty," and argued it "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 outrageous jury instructions that guaranteed guilty verdicts Biden and the Trump-deranged left will stop at nothing to remain in power," Rubio wrote on X.
