He knows he has exactly zero chance of winning the state when his party is the one sending murdering thugs to it’s streets. Now he gets to pretend to be a good person and avoid an embarrassing loss.
I’ll take a republican (maybe) having a conscience or even just abandoning a sinking ship over die hard fascists who would go down with the ship and drag as many people with them as they can.
At least he’s virtue signaling instead of vice signaling.
I did not sign up to that.
Yeah. He did. At no point did Trump or MAGA lie about their intentions. From the beginning they said exactly what they were going to do.
And he signed on. Maybe its because he didn’t believe they would actually do it and now he regrets it. That’s fine.
But regardless, he literally “signed up to that” and he has to own that.
Arrested Development narrator voice: “He did sign up for that”
conscience my arse, where was this any time in the past 20 years, dude.
You’re just seeing the writing on the wall and trying not to get put up against it
They did this after january 6th as well and then media memory holed everything a couple years later and revised the event. The media will memory hole this as well.
He’s representing the fascist assassin Jonathan Ross…
Show me a consistent framework of justice where it was okay for John Adams to represent the guys who did the Boston Massacre but that guy (who is a shitbag who murdered someone) shouldn’t be represented.
I agree, he’s a murderer and should be prosecuted to the greatest extent of the law. But representation is part of that law.
How are so many people in this thread saying “yes, Trump bad” but also “I want to do exactly what Trump does but to other people instead”
The implication (I hope) is that noone is representing him that isn’t a public defender. This man should be so socially radioactive that only the lawyers ordered by the court consider it.
I’m not saying this is what it’s happening here, but I swear I recall a story of a lawyer who knew his client was guilty and wanted him to be put away for life, but defended them to the best of his ability to ensure that they wouldn’t get a mistrial on the basis of Ineffective Assistance of Counsel.
If he’s still a Republican, all he had is a pang of guilt, not a sudden onset of conscience.
It’s a start though.
I’ll take what I can get at this point
