May 30, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement blasting the guilty verdict at the trial of former President Donald Trump in New York City:
“There is a statement that a prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich, but in New York City, the saying should be changed to a prosecutor and judge can convict a former president without presenting charges or allowing testimony to counter those charges. The presumption of innocence does not apply to people doing business or living in New York City if they are not politically compliant. The rule of law which holds together the thin veneer of civilization has been shredded, let’s hope not permanently for the sake of what used to be American ideals.”
