Some disinformation troll is conflating convict (as in the act of convicting) with the common usage of convict (someone currrently serving their sentence) and a bunch of people are falling for it.
My guess is once that is finally put to rest my guess is the next one will be claiming he isn’t really convicted until he exhausts all his appeals or some other magical fairy tale.
Oh there are folks already claiming the ‘not until appeals’ bit. Basically anything to calm the dissonance between ‘law and order party’ and ‘convicted felon is out nominee’
