The president also called Trump, who was found guilty last week in his New York criminal trial, “unhinged.”
President Joe Biden called former President Donald Trump a “convicted felon” who “snapped” after the 2020 election at a campaign event Monday.
“For the first time in American history, a former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the presidency,” Biden told the crowd at the fundraising event in Greenwich, Connecticut. “But as disturbing as that is, more damaging is the all-out assault Donald Trump is making on the American system of justice.”
Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in his New York hush money trial. Biden addressed Trump’s conviction Friday, taking a swipe at the attacks Trump and his allies have lobbed at the justice system.
My only complaint is that nothing changed after 2020. He was convicted for his crimes committed in 2016 to subvert that election.
This is who he’s always been. His presidency’s only notable feature was its rampant criminality.
2020 was just him raising the stakes for the rest of us.
