Reaction was swift to the verdict against former President Donald Trump by a New York jury. Reaction, as expected fell along party lines.
Former President Trump was found guilty on all counts in what many attorneys on both sides of the political aisle believed was a political maneuver by Biden supporter Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
When history is written, this will go down as one of the darkest days in American political history. The political prosecution of a former President for murky charges is a disgrace. Our democracy never contemplated lawfare as a political weapon and we cannot continue down this…

I respect our justice system and the rule of law. The process played out, and we should always demand accountability from our elected leaders. https://t.co/XfYj8eBoTn

Let's not forget – a convicted felon is the MAGA Republican nominee.
We still have a lot of work to do before Nov. It's going to take all of us.
AZ was the cornerstone of standing up to extremism in 2020. Together, we must do it again. https://t.co/b6PvPbbMM4

Very few people thought Trump would receive any fair treatment in NYC, & the judge & prosecutor proved us right with their historic & unprecedented efforts to interfere in the 2024 election. Americans see through this distortion of justice & will render their own verdict in Nov. pic.twitter.com/vGL3mdJsoW

The American people are not losing faith in our judicial system. Trump loyalists are attempting to sow seeds of doubt for a political end, just as they tried to undermine our election systems after the 2020 and 2022 elections. Nobody is above the law. https://t.co/weKBrHWPJ7

This is political prosecution!
What’s happening in New York is a stain on our democracy.
Trump has been destroying Biden in the polls so the Democrats have decided they have to use the court system to keep their puppets Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in power.
We MUST beat… https://t.co/bCurgvD4u5
