Newsmax host Carl Higbie went on a tirade on Friday after former President Donald Trump was convicted by a Manhattan jury the day before.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to cover up extramarital affairs. Trump was concerned the affairs would come to light and harm his presidential aspirations. The Republican freakout has been swift if not predictable. Despite their outrage and indignation, some conservatives insist that being a convicted felon will help Trump’s chances of returning to the White House in November’s election.

During Friday’s edition of Frontline on Newsmax, Higbie demanded congressional Republicans drop everything and go after those involved in Trump’s prosecution.

So he's saying that because a criminal was tried and convicted for his crimes, they somehow have to take action to defend said criminal even though said criminal most definitely did a whole bunch of crime that he hasn't even been tried for yet.

I don't know you everyone is so upset. Fomenting violence on a public stage is completely normal, I mean c'mon. /s

Bet this guy's idea of foreplay is a backhand.

What people in cities? The people that carried out the trial on Felonius Lump?

Also, just where the fuck does Higbie live? Most Americans live in metro areas; is he one of the 17% that don't?

Lol joke's on you asshole, recently more people raised in the suburbs and country have moved to cities, and more minorities and leftists own guns. It's not 1980 anymore, good luck.

Estimates seem to be 83% of the country lives in an urban area. It's expect to be 90% by 2050. The dipshits still seem to think that flyover regions somehow contain multitudes and constitute a majority.

Someone should ask Lax Headroom how he defines well-regulated militia and how he sees it applied.

Alas, we know.
