From Fox News: New York Attorney General Letitia James faced an avalanche of criticism on social media Thursday following news she was indicted for mortgage fraud as many conservatives brought up past tweets of her taunting then presidential candidate Donald Trump for being indicted.
“Roses are red. Violets are blue. No one is above the law. Even when you think the rules don’t apply to you. Happy Valentine’s Day!” James posted on X in February 2024, days before Trump was barred from operating his business in New York for three years and was found liable for more than $350 million in damages in the civil fraud case brought against him, his family and the Trump Organization by James.
The trial was labeled by Trump and many conservatives as politically motivated, and on Wednesday, James herself was indicted for alleged mortgage fraud, prompting conservatives to mock the attorney general over her previous claims on social media that “no one is above the law.”
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
No one is above the law.
Even when you think the rules don’t apply to you.
Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️

Conservatives are now throwing it back in her face.
“This you?” asked Sean Davis on Thursday, sharing a screenshot from a NY Post report about her indictment.

Former GOP county executive candidate Chrissy Casilio mockingly posted her own poem:
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
If you commit mortgage fraud,
a grand-jury will indict you!

So crazy. Unlike with her case against Trump, this is a real crime. https://t.co/HvTUUSKFHt

James is also being mocked for another post from Feb. 16, 2024, in which she claimed, “When powerful people cheat to get better loans, it comes at the expense of hardworking people. Everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank to get a mortgage, and if they did, our government would throw the book at them. There simply cannot be different rules for different people.”

According to the indictment, Tish James claimed this was a second residence, as opposed to an income property.
If true, then it would seem based on her own tweets, she believes that is a prosecutable offense as it resulted in a more favorable loan.https://t.co/bqvlssxtfv https://t.co/TFVx83Dn1w pic.twitter.com/yc8GUWV2wN

Letitia James has taken the whole “confession by way of accusation” thing to a whole other level. https://t.co/3utgM1TN6H pic.twitter.com/RUNebfC2OE
