Donna Edwards: ‘The Scales of Justice Are Really Imbalanced When It Comes to Donald Trump’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MOHYELDIN: “Congresswoman, I want to start with this new video that Trump posted. The spokesman for the Biden campaign, Michael Tyler, told” The New York Times,” it’s time people start taking the ex-president seriously and represents the Capitol police officers who were attacked January 6th my question to you is what is it going to take for people to actually start taking this guy seriously? It appears, at every turn, he is just allowed to do whatever you want and get away with it without any department.”
Edwards: “It does seem that the scales of justice are really imbalanced when it comes to Donald Trump. You know, there are things that he has engaged in, for example, that for any other criminal defendant, would have landed them back in jail, in lockup with their bail revoked. It seems to me that people haven’t decided yet — our systems haven’t decided — how it is that you hold a former president accountable because we have never been in this place before, but it’s really clear that, for Donald Trump, there really is no end, there is no beyond. I think we will have to figure this out quickly, before his videos and posts or words that he use actually become actionable by people, as we saw from January 6th, where people take his words and his actions seriously. So, Kathy Griffin, if she had posted that pickup truck with Joe Biden, would have had the Secret Service visit her, but Donald Trump seems to get off the hook.”
