US Republican elected official Marjorie Taylor Greene, an ally of former President Donald Trump, called on Twitter on Friday to demonstrate in New York after the billionaire was charged in a criminal case. “I will go to New York on Tuesday”, the day of the appearance of the former tenant of the White House. “We must protest this unconstitutional witch hunt,” she said.
“We will support President Trump and demonstrate against bullies,” the US Congresswoman continued. “See you on Tuesday.”
A supporter of the QAnon conspiracy movement, the elected promotes conspiracy theories from far-right and anti-Semitic circles.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s call awakens the memory of the insurrection in the Capitol which, on January 6, 2021, left five dead and injured a hundred police officers.
Security measures around the Manhattan courthouse have already been tightened.
New York justice has in the sights a payment of 130,000 dollars made to the pornographic actress Stormy Daniels just before the presidential election of 2016 so that she silences a supposed extramarital relationship with Donald Trump. The sum had not been declared in the Republican candidate’s campaign accounts, a possible violation of state election laws, and recorded as “legal fees” in the accounts of his company, which is headquartered in New York.
