House Democrat Urges New York Governor To Pardon Trump 'For The Good Of The Country'
HuffPost
Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) made the entreaty to Gov. Kathy Hochul while also calling Donald Trump a "serial liar, cheater, and philanderer."
U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) on Friday urged New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) to pardon Donald Trump following the former president’s conviction on 34 charges in his hush money trial.
Phillips, a onetime presidential candidate who ended his long-shot bid for the White House in March, made the entreaty after Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records to cover up a payoff to a porn star who said that she’d slept with Trump — an affair that Trump has denied.
“Donald Trump is a serial liar, cheater, and philanderer, a six-time declarer of corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection, and a convicted felon who thrives on portraying himself as a victim,” Phillips wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “[Hochul] should pardon him for the good of the country.”
During the presidential primaries, Phillips said that he’d support Joe Biden if the Democratic incumbent were “15-20 years younger,” but that “it’s absurd” to nominate Biden in 2024 “considering his age.” He changed his tune upon losing to Biden in his home state on Super Tuesday.
Nonetheless, Phillips is now arguing that Biden’s Republican rival for the White House should not be made a “martyr over a payment to a porn star.”
