Fox News’ Jesse Watters said the hush money case against Donald Trump is “pure evil,” before he went on an epic rant about how poorly the former president was being treated.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up payments he made to conceal affairs.
“So, they’ve taken away his freedom of speech, and now they have taken away his freedom of movement. He has to sit there all week for six weeks. And if he says anything, they’ll throw him in jail. If he leaves, they throw him in jail. That’s crazy! I mean, they had more allowances for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. I think they bought a million-dollar soccer field for the people in Gitmo. I don’t know if Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was able to visit his son for his high school graduation, but it’s similar.”
But Watters wasn’t close to being finished. He continued:
They’re freezing him to death; they’re putting him in a meat locker. He says it’s like 45 degrees in there.
And, they’re putting his life in danger. And they’re telling the entire world, all the wackos, “This is where the former president is going to be at this date, at this time, surrounded by high-rise buildings.” And, then they’re seizing his bank accounts with these unreasonable fines, unreasonable bond asks. It’s disgusting.
They say it’s a fraud, but under existing election law…candidates can’t use campaign funds for an expense that would exist anyway. Even if it benefits the campaign.
So wait a second. I don’t understand. If it’s illegal to use campaign funds for personal issues, but it’s also illegal to use personal funds for personal issues during a campaign, what was Donald Trump supposed to do? Either way, he’s going to get prosecuted. That just means it’s illegal for Donald Trump to be a candidate, is what they’re saying.
What was he supposed to do? He’s going to use donor money to deal with an extortion attempt from a woman? ‘Cause it’s pure extortion. This is a woman who’s a porn star who owes Trump 600 grand already for frivolous lawsuits, and she was represented by a guy who’s in prison for extortion, Michael Avenatti. And the star witness, the other lawyer, is a lying felon who’s in prison! And this is the case.
