Ellis, one of 18 Trump associates charged in Georgia election subversion case, says she ‘simply can’t support him’ again

Jenna Ellis – the Donald Trump lawyer who like the former president faces criminal charges regarding attempted election subversion in his defeat by Joe Biden in 2020 – says she will not vote for him in the future because he is a “malignant narcissist” who cannot admit mistakes.

“I simply can’t support him for elected office again,” Ellis said. “Why I have chosen to distance is because of that frankly malignant narcissistic tendency to simply say that he’s never done anything wrong.”

Ellis, 38, was speaking on her show on American Family Radio, a rightwing evangelical network run by the American Family Association, a non-profit that by its own description has been “on the frontlines of America’s culture war” since 1977.

    Like Chris Christie, she supported him for 4 years and then only at the end was suddenly shocked to discover he was a bad guy. Of course he claims he soured on Trump after the Jan 6 insurrection and she broke with hm publicly only after she gets charged alongside him and faces mandatory minimum prison time.

      I think she’s virtue signaling for the court. Hoping to sway sentencing when it comes (or praying they let her off now that she sees Trump’s a turd).

        Could be that she’s announcing that unless DJT starts paying for her lawyer she’s going state’s evidence.

          Well I don’t see DT doing that considering he can’t pay for his own at this point.

          I hope you’re right about the states evidence.

            She might not understand that he’s cash-strapped.
