Former Vice President Mike Pence shared a harsh message following Donald Trump’s guilty conviction in New York.
Despite Pence’s rocky relationship with the presumed Republican candidate, he slammed the conviction as a “disservice to the nation.”
“The conviction of former President Trump on politically motivated charges is an outrage and disservice to the nation,” Pence told Fox News Digital.
“No one is above the law, but our courts must not become a tool to be used against political opponents,” Pence continued. “To millions of Americans, this was nothing more than a political prosecution driven by a Manhattan DA who ran for office on a pledge to indict the former president and this conviction undermines confidence in our system of justice.”
“This conviction also sends a terrible message to the wider world about the American justice system and only further divides us at a time when the American people are struggling under the failed policies of the Biden administration at home and abroad,” he added.
Pence continued, “Having been convicted in a court of law, the former president has every right to appeal this conviction and I trust it will be overturned on appeal in a manner that will restore public confidence in our system of justice and equal treatment under the law.”
Last week, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records as part of a hush-money scheme to prevent porn star Stormy Daniels from speaking out about her alleged extramarital affair before the 2016 presidential election.
Following the guilty verdict, the Trump campaign announced a new fundraising record totaling $34.8 million.
“From just minutes after the sham trial verdict was announced, our digital fundraising system was overwhelmed with support, and despite temporary delays online because of the amount of traffic, President Trump raised $34.8 million dollars from small dollar donors. Not only was the amount historic, but 29.7% of yesterday’s donor’s were brand new donors to the WinRed platform. President Trump and our campaign are immensely grateful from this outpouring of support from patriots across our country. President Trump is fighting to save our nation and November 5th is the day Americans will deliver the real verdict.” – Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, Trump Campaign Senior Advisors
Trump is expected to appeal the verdict.
What did Pence do to seed this verdict anyway
He aided the Dems with actions post VP office

Pence taking a stand now? Why? No surprise that he used the same rhetoric of the Dems “no one is above the law”. Maybe Pence is starting to worry that he might be on the Dem “hit list”. Trump from day one warned the American people of the deep state corruption and the American people have watched it all come true. Pence should have been reading Trump’s tweets, then maybe Pence would have foreseen the outcome of this sham trial. Crying outrage now is too little too late.
