Fox News host Laura Ingraham denounced the "Soviet-style justice" displayed in the Trump verdict, arguing that it has plunged the US to a "once-unthinkable low." Putin must be amused, she said, as Judge Merchan's courtroom resembles a Kremlin crony's manipulation.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham has fiercely criticized the guilty verdict against Donald Trump in the NY v. Trump case, labeling it a blatant display of "Soviet-style justice" that has dragged the US to a new nadir.
Ingraham, renowned for her conservative views, expressed her outrage on "The Ingraham Angle," stating that the verdict marks a "once-unthinkable low" in American history. She asserted that the charges against Trump were politically motivated, reminiscent of the infamous Kremlin tactics to eliminate potential threats.
"Putin must be laughing watching Judge Merchan run his courtroom like any Kremlin crony would run his own in Moscow," she declared. "Whenever a viable threat to his power base emerges, just take it out with Soviet-style justice. Find a crime — any crime — and charge him with it."
Ingraham drew parallels between the Trump verdict and the former accusations of Russian collusion, which she dismissed as a "sick fantasy." She accused the prosecutors of engaging in "Russian impersonation," orchestrating a show trial to indulge in their twisted desires of seeing Trump behind bars.
She lamented the erosion of American values and the alarming descent into tyranny, warning that the verdict against Trump could set a dangerous precedent for future leaders.
"This is what's facing Biden's likely successor now, Donald Trump," she warned. "They're trying to silence him, discredit him, and destroy him. And if they succeed, it will be a disaster for our country."
Ingraham urged Americans to remain vigilant and resist the forces that seek to undermine the nation's democracy. She emphasized the importance of defending free speech, due process, and the rule of law to preserve the foundation of American society.
"We cannot let them get away with this," she implored. "We must fight for our country, for our freedom, and for our future."
Ingraham's fiery rhetoric has resonated with many Trump supporters, who share her concerns about the politicization of the justice system and the threat to individual rights. The verdict against Trump has sparked widespread outrage among his base, who view it as an attack on American democracy and conservative values.
