Fox News guest Kym Douglas praised Donald Trump for “never playing the victim” minutes after he played the victim in remarks on the US Supreme Court ruling in his favor in the ballot case.
In a unanimous ruling on Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Colorado Supreme Court ruling removing Trump from the ballot over his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Trump delivered remarks from Mar-a-Lago celebrating the ruling and regurgitated his unfounded claims that President Joe Biden weaponized the Justice Department against him. He even suggested that Biden is responsible for his legal troubles at the state level.
Trump also slammed prosecutors and judges in his cases and said he should be given immunity from prosecution, an issue the Supreme Court will decide later this year.
“Drop the mic,” Douglas said in response to Trump’s speech.
“So good,” she added. “What I love about him, he never plays the victim. He was like, ‘Keep weaponizing me. I just keep winning.’ Never plays the victim. I thought he was super presidential today.”
There is no evidence to support Trump’s and his allies’ claims that Biden is behind the charges against him.
“The claim is false. Even in terms of those federal cases, there’s no evidence that President Biden ordered or was behind these prosecutions. The claim is especially non-sensical when it comes to state and local cases,” CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale said after the network cut away from Trump’s speech on Monday.
“There is zero evidence whatsoever that President Biden has somehow orchestrated this. So it’s just conjured out of thin air,” Dale added.
