The New York congresswoman, who is known for her liberal stance and activism, blasted previous accusations of a ‘two-tiered justice system’ from the GOP
He’s relevant in that this is the first time the child of a sitting president has been convicted of a felony, but I highly doubt that this will dissuade anyone who would have voted for Biden from doing so. Most people who say otherwise weren’t voting for him anyway. NOT letting him face the conviction would certainly have had a negative impact, though!
Yeah that was pretty much my thoughts on it. He’s already done all the damage he’s going to do to Biden’s rep. Beyond that they don’t lose anything by letting him face consequences. Which didn’t seem too severe for the crime he was charged with from what I read. It’s not really comparable to the situation with Trump considering Trump is the front-runner for the republicans. Not that I think either of them should get off just saying this is kind of a stupid thing to grandstand over.
Honestly, him facing it very well could win votes I expect. It shows that he isn’t using the powers of the presidency to interfere with this, which is something Trump accuses him of, and also we all know Trump would do. It makes Biden the candidate of allowing the law to apply to people near the president and Trump the candidate who will use the office to protect himself and his “friends.” He’s already used it to pardon many who do his bidding.
