Dems say GOP 'attacks' on justice system have to stop after Hunter Biden verdict
Democratic lawmakers are speaking out after the Hunter Biden verdict, arguing that Republicans must stop attacks on the nation's justice system in the wake of the decision.
"That is not the result of a sham process or some vast conspiracy by the Biden administration. That is the result of the truth. And these attacks on our justice system have to come to a stop," Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said after the verdict. "They are dangerous. They are irresponsible. They are nothing but false conspiracy theories being pushed to try and excuse the actions of the former president."
Those thoughts were echoed by Rep. Jamie Raskin, who argued that despite the fact that Biden was "just convicted of every single count that was brought against him," the lawmaker had "not heard a single Democrat anywhere in the country cry fraud, cry, fixed, cry, rigged, cry, kangaroo court or any of the many epithets that our colleagues have."
"Why? We believe in the rule of law. We believe in the justice system and we stand by it," Raskin said.
Hunter is a necessary sacrifice.
