GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley said Sunday she “absolutely” trusts the jury in E. Jean Carroll defamation case against former President Trump but that the recent ruling should not bar him from the ballot.
“I absolutely trust the jury. And I think that they made their decision based on the evidence. I just don’t think that should take him off the ballot,” Haley said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“I think the American people will take him off the ballot. I think that’s the best way to go forward, is not let him play the victim. Let him play the loser. That’s what we want him to do at the end of the day,” the former United Nations ambassador continued.
On Friday, a jury ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million for defaming Carroll in 2019 when he denied the writer’s accusation he sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s. Trump said he will appeal the verdict. Earlier, a separate jury found the former president liable for sexual abuse in a defamation trial last year with Carroll over a separate comment and ordered him to pay $5 million.
I’ll agree with Haley, I’m not sure if being a dogshit sleazebag warrants barring someone from office. It’s a good thing that wasn’t at all the point of this court case, and that the court of Colorado already determined he was a fucking traitor to the United States, which does warrant barring someone from office.
In her defense (*vomits quietly), it’s really getting hard to keep track of all his legal proceedings.
Well, how about all the election interference? Should we allow someone who clearly acts like a fascist and tried to throw a coup back into office?
I don’t think you read their whole comment.
