McCaskill isn’t so sure Colorado made the right call…
Former Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill stopped by MSBNC’s Morning Joe on Thursday and offered her thoughts on the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to kick Trump off the 2024 ballot; she isn’t so sure it was the right call.
“As somebody who is a politician, I think it’s a real bad decision because I think it really helps Donald Trump,” McCaskill told MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough on Thursday. “And I don’t like anything that helps Donald Trump. I find myself in a weird position of agreeing with Bill Barr in terms of it helping him. It does help him and so, in a perfect world, if I could write the script, the Supreme Court would put him back on the ballot and then he would be defeated soundly. That’s what I want in my Christmas stocking this year.”
From The Daily Caller:
Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr warned that this decision will cause political “chaos” for future elections during a CNN interview Wednesday with Jake Tapper. He also said the case lacked due process by lacking a jury or subpoenaed witnesses to present evidence of Trump allegedly inciting an insurrection.
Chief Justice Brian Boatright and two associate justices dissented in the ruling, arguing state law “was not enacted to decide whether a candidate engaged in insurrection.” Special counsel Jack Smith, who is charging Trump for allegedly overturning their election Jan. 6, has not charged the former president with inciting an insurrection.
