After a New York jury has convicted former president Donald Trump on 34 separate felony charges, there’s no shortage of opinions circulating on legacy and social media. But the official statements from many prominent GOP officials at the federal and state level shows an astonishing disconnect from the people they claim to represent.

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton said publicly what the Washington D.C. Uniparty has been thinking since Trump was elected in 2016–this show trial was less about justice and more about keeping Trump out of the presidential race.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was one of the first to direct her colleagues’ attention to what their constituents are saying.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) took a similar cautionary tone in reminding the Republicans in Congress that the battle is no longer between the GOP and the Democrats but rather between the Uniparty and the American people.

Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) provided a perfect example of how GOP leadership has failed to provide any meaningful resistance to the weaponization of the Dept. of Justice in its quest to punish Donald Trump for being elected in 2016.

Massie retweeted audio of a conversation between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) that makes plain Johnson’s unwillingness to defund Prosecutor Jack Smith’s next sham trial of Trump.

Trump’s conviction is providing cause for celebration among establishment types but may yet prove to be a pyrrhic victory. The blatant weaponization of what was once the world’s fairest justice system is winning Trump support from former fence-sitters whose sense of injustice has been aroused.

The only thing that seems certain, at this point, is that the American voters will have the final say in November.
