While leftists who couldn't care less about the destruction of this country cheered the guilty verdicts in the sham trial of Donald Trump over a non-crime, Republicans have rallied behind Trump, blasting the horrific abuse of the justice system to interfere with the 2024 election.
On Thursday, just after the verdict declaring Trump guilty, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) appeared on Newsmax TV with Greta Van Susteren and broke it all down, calling it a "grotesque abuse of the justice system."
“Well, Greta, I have two similar sentiments," he began. "Number one, I’m angry, I’m furious, and number two, I’m heartbroken. I’m angry because we’re seeing a grotesque abuse of the justice system. It is a travesty of justice that has unfolded in New York. And I’m heartbroken because the rule of law matters in America. You and I both have spent our adult lives fighting to defend the rule of law, and we have a justice system that is supposed to ensure equal justice under law for everyone. Today, the New York justice system made itself a global laughingstock."
He added, "This was a political decision that every banana republic in the world recognizes. And they know exactly what this was. This was partisan Democrats lashing out at their political opponent. And I got to say, Greta, I held out hope that a 12-person jury, there would be one, one who would hold out and say, ‘I will not participate in this fraud. I will not participate in this political attack.’ And sadly, there was not even one.”
When asked about whether cameras should have been allowed in the courtroom, Cruz argued that had there been cameras in the courtroom, Americans would have been able to see the abuse firsthand.

“I think there really should have been cameras in this courtroom, in particular, to see the absolute abuse of power by this trial judge,” Cruz told Van Susteren. “This trial judge, I think, has diminished the credibility of every judge in America. Because, look, when you go into a courtroom, and God forbid you go into a courtroom as a criminal defendant, or you go into the courtroom as a civil litigant, you expect the judge to be fair. You expect the judge to be impartial. You expect the judge to follow the law. This judge was a partisan. He should have worn a Biden campaign hat while he sat at the bench. His rulings were absurd. I've got to say, those jury instructions — it was obvious he had one objective, and it was to get Donald Trump. Now, that’s not a judge’s job. It does ensure for reversible error."
Cruz said that he believes the verdict will be reversed on appeal because of all the reversible errors and abuses that took place, but in the meantime, Democrats will get what they wanted out of the case.

“But I think on all likelihood that will happen after the election and the entire purpose of this sham prosecution was the two words you read right before you had me on you read Joe Biden’s campaign statement, and in with words that surprise nobody on planet Earth, they refer to Donald Trump as a quote, ‘convicted felon,'” he explained. “You and I are going to hear those words repeated by Democrats and the corporate media about 1 billion times between now and Election Day. That was the whole point: to scream felon, felon, felon, felon. This was politics and not law.”
