Banning Trump from talking about his trial is blatant election interference
NY Post
A “heckler’s veto” refers to when someone disagrees with a speaker’s message and manages to trigger events that silence the speaker.
Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order on former President Donald Trump in his hush money case and the sanctions he imposed for Trump’s alleged violation of that order are an outrageous form of that veto.
Merchan slapped Trump with thousands of dollars in sanctions and even threatened him with incarceration for future violations.
In fact, both the order and the sanctions are wildly unconstitutional.
While the former president is on trial, with headlines blaring minute-by-minute attacks on the leading presidential candidate’s character and conduct, he is gagged from defending himself in the public eye.
Polling suggests the trial could be the deciding factor in November, yet he can’t talk about it.
