Trump supporters, who gathered outside the New York City courtroom on Wednesday where the former president is facing criminal charges, rallied in support of him and sounded off on the “judicial lynching” they say he is facing with the trial.
A Black New Yorker wearing a Trump hat told Fox News Digital, “I love Trump and I love what he did for me and my people, Black people, he really helped us out.” He went on to dismiss the idea that the Biden administration is defending “Black America,” claiming that Biden’s policies have caused him financial hardship.
“What they doing right now is really ridiculous, these court cases and everything that they doing towards him…they trying to stop the momentum from winning the election.”, the man said. “It ain’t happening man, we f— with Trump, Black people we really with Trump.”
A white man wearing a “Gays for Trump” shirt told Fox News Digital, “This is a judicial lynching, he did nothing wrong.” He added, “He will be found innocent, even if he isn’t and he’s railroaded by the Democratic Marxist party, I will vote for him regardless of the outcome.”
Conservative activist and artist Scott LoBaido said, “I’m here to return the favor and humiliate them,” referring to critics of Trump outside the courtroom. He unveiled a portrait he painted mocking actor Robert DeNiro, who had strongly criticized Trump.
Not everyone gathered outside the New York City courtroom had glowing things to say about the former president. Dr. Robbi Warren, a self-described Black “theologian” from Baltimore, said, “I’m coming in opposition of the Evangelicals who have twisted Christianity.” She accused Trump of “releasing a spirit of delusion” and a “spirit of division.”
Jurors in the case were handed their final instructions on Wednesday and were sent out to deliberate on Trump’s guilt in the 34 charges against him. The jury went home for the day around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday and is set to resume deliberations on Thursday morning.
