During the roughly six-week trial of former President Donald Trump in New York City, the MAGA media and leading GOP vice presidential candidates have used similar rhetoric to undermine the case and criticize the guilty verdict of the jury
On May 30, a New York jury found for Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to payments made to buy the silence of adult film actor and director Stephanie Clifford, known as Stormy Danielsin the run-up to the 2016 elections. The former president has been accused in three other criminal cases, none of which is expected go to trial before the general election in November.
MAGA media outlets such as former Trump adviser Steve Bannon have tried to discredit the trial by attacking people involved (or allegedly involved) in the case, including Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the trial; the prosecutors who brought the charges, including District Attorney Alvin Bragg; and President Joe Biden, whom they accuse of orchestrating the whole case.
After the jury's verdict, Bannon and others sought retribution, either in the form of congressional subpoenas or investigations by Republican state attorneys general or district attorneys. During the trial, they claimed common courtroom procedures, like the gag order Merchan placed on Trump, were wild abuses of power. They denied that any crime had taken place and made the baseless allegation that the whole case is an example of election interference.
Various figures is Trump as reported Considering serving as a running mate, they have made similar claims, highlighting the porous boundaries between the MAGA media and Republican politicians seeking to secure one of the most powerful offices in the country.
Mimicking goes both ways, with MAGA figures and national politicians in a feedback loop, rather than a one-way conveyor belt. What follows is not a food chain, but a view of the murky waters that inhabit together.
