SPEAKER GETS LOUD! McCarthy, GOP Leadership Blast Bragg, 'Irreparably Damaged Our Country'

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.31.23

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is defending former President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump in the wake of the Manhattan grand jury indictment regarding alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels; he’s also going after DA Alvin Bragg.

“Alvin Bragg has irreparably damaged our country in an attempt to interfere in our Presidential election,” McCarthy said on Twitter. “As he routinely frees violent criminals to terrorize the public, he weaponized our sacred system of justice against President Donald Trump. The American people will not tolerate this injustice, and the House of Representatives will hold Alvin Bragg and his unprecedented abuse of power to account.”

Other prominent Republican voices blasted Bragg and came to Trump’s defense.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) responded: “The Democrat Party’s hatred for Donald Trump knows no bounds.”

Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that the indictment is an “outrage.”

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise called the whole thing a “sham.”

“The sham New York indictment of President Donald Trump is one of the clearest examples of extremist Democrats weaponizing government to attack their political opponents. Outrageous.”

Even Trump’s 2024 opponent Nikki Haley spoke out in defense of Forty-Five, saying that Bragg is obviously out for revenge —not justice.

“From everything I have seen from this New York district attorney is that this would be something he’d be doing for political points. I think what we know is, when you get into political prosecutions like this, it’s more about revenge than it is about justice.”
