The governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, who is expected to run for the 2024 presidential election in the United States, has called the decision of the Judiciary to charge former U.S. President Donald Trump for allegedly bribing porn actress Stephanie Clifford, known as Stormy Daniels, for not revealing that she had an alleged relationship with the tycoon almost 20 years ago, as »un-American».
Many of his supporters and opponents have reacted to Trump’s indictment, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has claimed that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has »irreparably damaged» the country to »intervene» in the presidential election, and has assured that the »American people» will not tolerate it.
»My president is innocent and is the only one standing in the way of these modern tyrants, just as our founding fathers did, to protect each of us from evil,» Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent ally of the former president, said on her Twitter account.
Senator Ted Cruz has written on his Twitter account: »The Democratic Party’s hatred of Donald Trump knows no bounds. The ‘substance’ of this political persecution is pure garbage. This is unprecedented and a catastrophic escalation in the instrumentalization of the justice system».
»We all know that the ‘Republicans In Name Only'(RINOs) are secretly happy about the indictment, but we know that the fascist left will not stop against Trump. They are power hungry and will do anything to crush their political opponents,» tweeted the former president’s son, Donald Trump Jr. His other son, Eric Trump, called the indictment »Third World behavior.
U.S. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan called it »outrageous,» and Republican Congressman Steve Scalise called the indictment »outrageous» and »false,» with the sole purpose of »attacking political opponents.»
On the other hand, the Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar has celebrated on her Twitter account the indictment, as well as her party colleagues Maxine Waters or Summer Lee. »May justice finally be done,» added Democrat Joaquín Castro.
