New York jurors found President Donald Trump guilty on 34 counts on Thursday. CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp issued a statement in response doubling down on CPAC's support for President Trump during this time:
Today is a tragic day in American history. From the outset, the mission of the radical Left has been clear: prevent President Donald J. Trump from running for President by any means necessary. After failed impeachment attempts, the Left has finally succeeded, but in a different way than they intended. Instead of diminishing the leading candidate for President, they have instead undermined the rule of law and our republic.
Since the initiation of these baseless and biased trials, the American people have recognized them for what they truly are—shameless attempts to dismantle a political adversary for his unwavering commitment to our country. The Left's actions throughout this trial, along with those stalled in the courts, have only served to galvanize support for President Trump.
As we enter the final five months of the Presidential campaign, we know this won't be the Left's last effort to bring down President Trump. They know that they cannot defeat him at the ballot box, so they will resort to any means necessary, lawful, or otherwise, to prevent him from taking the Oath of Office.
Make no mistake, their lawfare will backfire. No matter what dastardly deed they come up with, President Donald J. Trump will return to the White House.
