From the Daily Caller: Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman stated that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against President-elect Donald Trump was “politically motivated” during a Thursday segment on “The View.”
The senator argued that a pardon is “appropriate” for Bragg’s case and the criminal prosecution against President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, as they were both brought about for political purposes. He argued the politicization of both cases has led to a growing distrust in U.S. institutions among the American public.
“I think it’s undeniable that the case against Hunter Biden was really politically motivated, but I also think it’s true that the trial in New York for Trump [was] political too,” Fetterman said. “In both cases, I think a pardon is appropriate and I think collectively, I think Americans’ confidence in these institutions have been damaged by these kinds of cases and we can’t allow these kinds of institutions to be weaponized against our political opponents and it’s very clear, both trials were politically motivated and weaponized on the other side.”
Fetterman continued:
“I’m talking about the New York trial, and Democrats on our side, there were some that were gleeful [saying] ‘well now he’s a convicted felon’ and all of those things, and now for our party we are talking about criminal justice and we were talking about second chances and now all of a sudden, you’re like ‘well now he’s a convicted felon’ and all of these things,” the senator continued. “So clearly, both of those trials, the Hunter Biden one and the trial in New York for Trump, clearly that was politically motivated and those kinds of charges would have never have been brought unless one side could one day realize that they could weaponize that.”
