Failed presidential hopeful Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) pressed New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) to pardon Trump following his recent conviction.

From The Hill thehill.com/...:

“Donald Trump is a serial liar, cheater, and philanderer, a six-time declarer of corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection, and a convicted felon who thrives on portraying himself as a victim,” Phillips said in a post on social platform X Friday. “@GovKathyHochul should pardon him for the good of the country.”

Dean continued

“You think pardoning is stupid?” Phillips, also a former presidential candidate, said in a Saturday post on X. “Making him a martyr over a payment to a porn star is stupid. (Election charges are entirely different.) It’s energizing his base, generating record sums of campaign cash, and will likely result in an electoral boost.”

Dean’s displaying the same acumen as in his bid to overthrow the successful incumbent president of his own party, strictly on the basis of age discrimination. It’s hard to see how other than some extra cash, how this honest verdict will energise anyone beyond Trump’s base.
