President Joe Biden’s campaign calls former President Donald Trump “desperate and defeated” following his remarks on his 34-felony-charge conviction in an unprecedented hush money trial.
Following his guilty verdict, Trump rallied around his supporters this morning with a speech about a “very unfair” trial in which he was convicted of 34 felony charges.
“This is a case were if they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone. These are bad people,” Trump told the crowd—adding, “This is all done by Biden and his people” and “by Washington, and nobody has ever seen anything like this.”
Biden’s camp clapped back at Trump’s remarks. and in addition to calling him “confused, desperate, and defeated,” Michael Tyler, the Biden campaign’s communications director, said Trump was “spiraling from his criminal convictions” and is “consumed by his own thirst for revenge and retribution.”
“America just witnessed a confused, desperate, and defeated Donald Trump ramble about his own personal grievances and lie about the American justice system, leaving anyone watching with one obvious conclusion: This man cannot be president of the United States,” Tyler said in a statement.
Trump made history as the first president to become a convicted felon. As his hush money trial came to a close yesterday, the jury found him guilty on all 34 felony counts for falsifying business records before his 2016 presidential campaign to cover up a sex scandal with porn star, Stormy Daniels. Trump’s conviction won’t affect his ability to run for office.
His sentencing is scheduled for July 11th.
