'Truly breathtaking levels of hypocrisy': Trump's latest attack shocks analyst

Raw Story  

Donald Trump's decision to run to his Truth Social account on Thursday to defend Judge Aileen Cannon from criticism drew the attention of MSNBC political analyst Steve Benen, who pointed out the former president has done nothing but lead the charge in attacks on the judges who are overseeing his other trials. On Thursday Trump wrote, "They are calling her terrible names, wrongfully threatening her with Impeachment, and disrespecting her, all because they want her to act like the dishonest, politically biased, and conflicted Judges in New York," while making the case he feels Cannon is being "harassed." Central to Trump's latest claims isn't that he is lying — although he is — it is the "truly breathtaking levels of hypocrisy on display," the MSNBC analyst said. "If anyone has any doubts about this, they should feel free to ask U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, and U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, each of whom has been on the receiving end of Trump delegitimizing tantrums," he wrote before suggesting, "If the former president believes such conduct constitutes 'illegal harassment,' he might as well turn himself into the authorities now."
