Republicans Try To Discredit Judge In Trump’s Jan. 6 Case. Except They All Voted For Her.

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Barely a day after former President Donald Trump was indicted for the third time, some Senate Republicans are already trying to undermine the credibility of the federal judge who was randomly assigned to preside over his trial. Sen. Ted Cruz, speaking on his podcast on Wednesday, accused U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan of being “relentlessly hostile” to Trump and claimed that she has “a reputation for being far-left, even by D.C. District Court standards.” But Cruz voted to put Chutkan into her seat on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in June 2014. That includes Sen. Lindsey Graham, who nonsensically claimed Wednesday that “any conviction in D.C. against Donald Trump is not legitimate.” “The judge in this case hates Trump,” Graham said in a Fox News interview. The former president has called for moving his case to the “more diverse” and “politically unbiased nearby State of West Virginia!” The Countdown To Trump Is On On Jan. 20, Donald Trump will reclaim the most powerful seat in our nation's government.
