At Fox News, Tucker Carlson railed against the indictment, while CNN’s hosts were having a difficult time disguising their petty, petulant glee.
Meanwhile, a number of MAGA-aligned politicians are lining up to lend their support to the former Commander in Chief – including one of his likely potential ’24 rivals.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said his state will not assist with an extradition request, his announcement coming after former President Donald Trump was indicted Thursday.
“The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American,” he wrote in a social media post.
And then:
“The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent. Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda.”
