In a later comment to NBC News, Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt gave a new quote, saying, "President Trump believes criminals should spend time behind bars, unlike Kamala Harris, who wants to eliminate cash bail.”
You forget that his conviction is unjust. He is being persecuted. However the in the entirety of criminal convictions he stands alone. Everyone else is clearly guilty because who would persecute anybody because of their race, or their beliefs, or because they look like someone else. That's just crazy talk. /s
The law, for conservatives, is only held against their enemies.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
The newspaper didn't realize it, but they did Trump a favor. He doesn't need to be consistent. To those who plan on breaking the law, hypocrisy is a virtue, because it signals to their allies that laws only apply to other people.
