Republicans Have Met The Enemy and His Name Is Alvin Bragg
As a Manhattan grand jury works through a potential indictment against former President Donald Trump, Republicans are figuring out who to blame if charges are brought against their perpetual party leader.
Predictably, Republicans won’t blame Trump, even though he’s admitted to authorizing hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels after he had an affair with her in 2006. And it doesn’t appear as if Republicans will blame Michael Cohen, Trump’s then-lawyer who helped concoct the hush-money scheme in 2016. And, for the most part, it won’t be President Joe Biden, either, as he’s staying away from this as far as possible.
Instead, Republicans appear apt to blame everything on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who’s overseeing the case against Trump. He’s their bogeyman.
