Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) pressed New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) to pardon former President Trump following his recent conviction in his hush money trial.

“Donald Trump is a serial liar, cheater, and philanderer, a six-time declarer of corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection, and a convicted felon who thrives on portraying himself as a victim,” Phillips said in a post on social platform X Friday.

“@GovKathyHochul should pardon him for the good of the country.”

Because that makes total sense. God forbid Donnie face any fucking consequences. Who gives a shit if his base is pissed let them be. We do not kowtow to fascists.

      From the other posts it apparently isn’t sarcasm and I’m so confused

      I have no idea who this Phillips guy is so must be missing some context.

          Him being a Democrat and the long list of horribleness followed by ‘he should be pardoned’ is why I initially assumed it was sarcasm.

          Apparently Phillips is just a moron.

          “You think pardoning is stupid?” Phillips, also a former presidential candidate, said in a Saturday post on X. “Making him a martyr over a payment to a porn star is stupid. (Election charges are entirely different.) It’s energizing his base, generating record sums of campaign cash, and will likely result in an electoral boost.”
