New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg wasn’t even the person who announced that a grand jury found former president—and current Republican presidential candidate—Donald Trump guilty on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records to hide a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. And yet, white people on the internet seem to be mad mad at him.
Speaking about the case, Bragg commented, “We cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conduct.” And when asked about the verdict, he kept things short and sweet by saying, “I did my job.”
In fact, according to several legal analysts, he’s done his job better than anyone could have in his situation when faced with handling such a polarizing case.
And yet, no one wants Black people to bend the rules more than a white person in trouble. And in the seconds, minutes and hours that followed Trump’s guilty verdict, white people have been attacking Bragg left and right on X, formerly Twitter.
“When Alvin Bragg said “I did my job” — he was talking to one person: Joe Biden,” posted North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum. “Now it’s up to all of us to do our job: send @realdonaldtrump back to the White House!”
While some believe Trump’s guilty verdict will lessen his chances at another presidential term. Others say it will only hype up his base, and you know white people are mad mad when they start talking about war.
“TRUMP 2024! World War Two Pearl Harbor all over again,” posted someone going by CHEEZIT1350 on X. “Isoroku Yamamoto said, “ I fear all we have done is too awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.” Well, guess what, Alvin Bragg woke him up again.”
Another social media commentator going by Michelle Elaine Design, who says she makes handmade jewelry of all things, called Bragg a “disgrace to the legal profession” in a post.
“This is political persecution & will not stand on appeal. Karma is a bitch & what goes around comes around!” wrote Michelle Elaine. “You have personally elected Donald Trump to POTUS…Americans hate unfairness & will respond to this injustice.”
And then came the attacks on DA Bragg’s weight.
“Fat Alvin in New York can’t put murderers, rapists and carjackers in prison, but he wants to send Donald Trump to Rikers Island because murderers rapists and carjackers are not a threat to the Democrat base they are the Democrat base #AlvinBragg #Trump,” wrote @quinnwarroom247 on X.
And of course, no Republican political coverage would be complete without a few comments of outrage from professional white woman Megyn Kelly, who has a habit of saying nasty things about Black women.
“Guilty on all counts,” Kelly tweeted. The country is disgraced. Alvin Bragg should be disbarred. They will rue the day they unleashed this lawfare to corrupt a presidential election.”
Honestly, they all need to shut up and just take this L. See you all at the polls in November.
