The campaign of convicted felon Donald Trump understands it’s shameful that convicted felon Donald Trump is a convicted felon so they’ll try to cow reporters into *not* calling convicted felon Donald Trump a convicted felon, but convicted felon Donald Trump is, factually, a convicted felon.
In fairness, it IS absolutely shameful that the Republican party is backing a candidate that is a convicted felon. (And also an adjudicated rapist...)
Maybe that's why she's confused.
It's best to speak precisely and refer to convicted felon Donald Trump with his full honorific. It's the least we can do as convicted felon Donald Trump worked so hard to become a convicted felon.
I mean they couldn’t even stop calling him President so this isn’t shocking. I’m willing to meet in the middle. They can keep falsely calling him President as long as it’s Convicted Felon President Trump.
More shameful:
Continuing your campaign immediately after becoming a convicted felon.
Working for a convicted felon, and decrying your opponents as shameful for accurately noting that your boss is a convicted felon.
thanks for your clarification, Kevin. A couple follow up questions that I will need answered:
1. Has Donald Trump been convicted of any crimes?
2. Were those crimes felonies?
Thanks ever so much, long time listener first time caller
Dear Trump campaign: I think the Trump campaign should make a big deal about how even though Trump is a convicted felon, calling him a convicted felon is not fair, and should keep this debate going right up to election day. This will be good for Trump, and will not affect Barbra Streisand.
Why do all the suspiciously identical blonde anchorwomen Fox trots out to give a pretty face and a gentle, motherly voice to their fascist propaganda talk like the demon lady from Smiling Friends?
“No, he DID commit all of those crimes! But you didn’t have to be so MEAN about it! 🥺”
I was watching a Legal Eagle video today, and there was a footnote that said people are not referred to as felons until after sentencing. It did not explain why that distinction is made.
"No other Presidential candidate has ever had to overcome being a felon because...well, none have actually been felons before. And of course all of this is uncorrelated to any of my past activities. And if you believe any of this, you could be one of my business partners. Or my lawyer."
Convicted felon Donald Trump should always be called a convicted felon in the same way that the rapist Brock Allen Turner (a rapist who now goes by Allen Turner) is always called a rapist when mentioned
They’re conflicted and confused about conviction of their contemptible conman who conveys unconscionably contorted confabulations and contempt for the constitution. To them: condolences.
The jury found him guilty on THIRTY FOUR felony counts. Of course he is a convicted felon. Gonna start calling him “Thirty Four” until the number changes.
Also it isn’t completely correct. It should be: Adjudicated rapist, fraudster and convicted felon, Donald Trump. That is probably what they are upset about.
Why is the comeback from the journalist in the room not - is it more shameful for Biden to name a convicted felon than to actually be a lawfully convicted felon? And if so, why?
I don't understand US legalities sufficiently to know the details, but is the current state of affairs similar to being impeached by the House, but the Senate has yet to apply any conviction? Twice?
I could see why convicted felon Donald Trump would not enjoy being called a convicted felon. Oddly, this is currently the only conviction this convicted felon has. (And when I say "conviction" here, it's a pun, except when I'm talking about Donald Trump's actual felony conviction.)
I agree. He shouldn’t be called “a convicted felon.” Bc he’s also a rapist, a fraud, a conman, and a loser. I know there’s a lot to cover. But, we need to remind them.
UM WELL ACKSHUALLY he's not TEEEEEECHNICALLY that until he's sentenced…
…is exactly the sort of hair I am pleased to see Biden's team not splitting where Convicted Felon™ Donald Trump is concerned, even though a dozen lawyers in the room had to bite their tongues.
