Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) — a.k.a the confessed puppy killer angling to be vice president — pathetically tried to suggest that convicted former president Donald Trump had been targeted by the Biden administration and was verbally swatted down by CNN host Erin Burnett Friday evening on the news network.
Noem told Burnett that President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice was responsible for Trump being found guilty of 34 criminal counts this week in a Manhattan court.
“Look at what happened this week, what President Biden and his team have been able to do: To distract America with this trial and we’re not talking about the open border. The fact that President Biden is violating federal law by allowing this…”
Burnett cut Noem off to correct her.
“Governor, I do think it’s important to note that this trial was not brought by Department of Justice, which is bringing a case against President Biden’s son Hunter Biden that starts next week. This case, the Department of Justice did not choose to pursue against Trump.”
“It was brought by New York so you just said that it’s President Biden’s case that’s not true.”
But Noem continued to spin her conspiracy theory.
“We all know that the Obama Administration officials that were moved to this DA’s office in order to bring forward this type of action against President Trump and we all recognize that Hillary Clinton did this exact same thing and she paid a fine for it and instead when it’s president Trump and no crime was committed and he did nothing wrong instead they bring 34 felony accounts and convictions against him. It’s completey different judicial treatment.”
Noem and her fellow Republicans can whine all they want, but the person responsible for Donald Trump’s convictions is Trump himself. He paid hush money to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal to hide his affairs with them. He also falsified business records to hide those payments. And then he lied about it in an attempt to boost his chances of winning the 2016 presidential election.
While Republicans may find comfort in blaming others for the actions of their orange savior, the vast majority of Americans see through their bullshit and will vote accordingly come November.
