Former Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina roundly debunks Republicans’ core conspiracy to delegitimize Donald Trump’s convictions
Former Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina has roundly debunked Republicans’ core conspiracy to delegitimize Donald Trump’s 34 felony convictions, calling it “one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard.” Tacopina made these remarks during a pre-taped interview with Al Sharpton on MSNBC’s PoliticsNation, where he emphasized that the case against Trump is a state matter and has no connection to Joe Biden or his administration.
Tacopina further criticized Trump for using his conviction as a way to raise campaign funds and position himself as a martyr. He highlighted the absurdity of Trump’s claims and expressed concern over the misinformation being spread by the former president and his supporters. Trump has been spreading comically ignorant lies about his conviction, attempting to rally his base to violence, and indicating his intent to appeal. However, if these claims are the basis for his appeal, it is likely to be swiftly denied.
Trump’s narcissistic lying poses a significant threat to democracy by undermining the rule of law and spreading misinformation to his supporters. It erodes trust in the justice system and fuels division and unrest in the country. Source: NBC News
