Newsmax host Carl Higbie went on a tirade on Friday after former President Donald Trump was convicted by a Manhattan jury the day before.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to cover up extramarital affairs. Trump was concerned the affairs would come to light and harm his presidential aspirations. The Republican freakout has been swift if not predictable. Despite their outrage and indignation, some conservatives insist that being a convicted felon will help Trump’s chances of returning to the White House in November’s election.
During Friday’s edition of Frontline on Newsmax, Higbie demanded congressional Republicans drop everything and go after those involved in Trump’s prosecution.
And so… the traction begins. This is not just a freakout - this is going to supply them with a fake “victimhood” narrative they couldn’t have managed by themselves and that will escalate beyond November.
I hope the liberals have a plan for what’s going to happen when the nazis and their pig protectors hit the streets again - or, at least, a better plan than, “let’s heckle antifa from the sidelines like we did in 2016!”
