Among the multitude of overjoyed news reporters, Friday's CBS Mornings was no exception, but Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) burst some bubbles, while explaining many parts of the trial which were either downplayed or ignored outright.
Cotton explained to co-host Tony Dokoupil that the verdict from Trump's trial will mean little overall in November and strongly criticized its legitimacy:
Because this was a sham, rigged political show trial from the very beginning. You have a prosecutor who campaigned on the promise to get Trump on anything. You have a judge who's literally a Joe Biden donor who rigged the rulings at every turn to include, for instance, a gag order while the President was on the campaign trail. But as President Trump just said or you just heard him say, the real verdict is going to come on November 5, and it's going to be made by the American people, and it's going to be based on things like Joe Biden's record of runaway inflation and a wide open Southern border and war and chaos all around the world. And they will see through this sham trial that was designed from the very beginning to be election interference because Joe Biden knows he can't win on his own failed record.
