Trump tells Florida rally that NY Prosecutors are behaving like Third World DICTATORS in pursuing a 'political vendetta' against him - and says the 'fabricated charges' will only make him stronger
Former President Donald Trump accused New York prosecutors of behaving like a 'communist dictatorship targeting political opponents' as he railed against criminal charges leveled against his company during a rally in Florida.
He unloaded his fury after a week that included seeing an employee paraded into court in handcuffs with a fiery rally speech on Saturday night in Sarasota, Florida.
Trump hit all his favorite targets, from immigration to fake news, but reserved special fury for prosecutors in New York.
'It's reminiscent of a communist dictatorship targeting their political opponents ... fabricating charges to try and silence them, abusing the justice system and leaking out information on a daily basis to the press, to engage in flagrant character assassination,' he said to cheers.
But he said the 'witch hunt' that began when he first ran for office would backfire, cementing his support.
'In America people will not stand for it,' he said.
The rally, billed as a Fourth of July celebration, drew tens of thousands of people to a grassy fairground, braving first blistering temperatures and then torrential Florida rain.
