Newsmax Fabulist: Donald Trump Has 'Not Been Convicted'

MAGA conservatives constantly try to rewrite history, and Newsmax guest Jessie Jane Duff went there, too. As much as MAGA would like to change the fact that former President Donald Trump was impeached twice, they cannot do that. They tried in retaliation to impeach President Joe Biden, but that failed. The thing is, a President needs to do something wrong in order to impeach him. It can't be because he curb-stomped your candidate in 2020 and hurt your feewings. They cannot change the fact that Donald was convicted of 34 counts. Trump is now a felon. But not if you're Ms. Duff.

"Well, obviously, Judge Merchan, an authoritarian type of judge, has obviously opposed Donald Trump every step of the way," co-host Mercedes Schlapp falsely said, according to Media Matters. "I mean, you were nodding your head when Daniel was speaking, Jesse Jane —"

"I did," Duff explained. "Just nodding in disagreement, to clarify here..."

"Is that a new type of nodding?" co-host Daniel Lippman asked.

Yes, yes, it's a new type of nodding," Duff said. "I wasn't agreeing; I was disagreeing because Judge Merchan is not going to be intimidated. He's already run the trial. It's over."

"He obviously disregarded every indication that he shouldn't have been on the trial," she continued. "Everyone knows that he had made contributions to the Biden campaign, which no judge is supposed to do."
