Naturally, after Clay Travis encouraged a Trump supporter to “do everything they can” to get on the jury so they can sabotage the trial by causing a hung jury as a “patriotic” act, Fox puts him on in prime time to repeat it in case anyone missed the tweet.
@RonFilipkowski We’re living through an ENDLESS cycle of republican abuse of power and obstruction of justice that has seen two impeachments and an ongoing insurrection so far. There is no end, no bottom, they simply will not comply with the imperatives of government or institutions of justice
@RonFilipkowski Sixty of 96 potential jurors were quick to say they could not be impartial. What does that tell you?
But what else would you expect from a guy like Clay Travis? He's built his entire career on being a conservative contrarian, spouting off whatever hot take will get him attention and clicks. It doesn't matter if it's harmful or irresponsible - as long as it gets people talking, that's all that matters.
@RonFilipkowski The space between these two is called the “gooch.”
@RonFilipkowski If I said that, someone would be knocking on my door in 5 minutes
@RonFilipkowski Shouldn’t the @ManhattanDA or @TishJames be checking on this?
@RonFilipkowski I kinda like that they are just announcing it to everyone. It won't convince any republicans that they are crooks but the people on the fence need to see this.
@RonFilipkowski “Whoa! Isn’t this jury tampering? Packing the potential jury pool? Etc, Etc?” @TheBeatWithAri @SistersInLawPo1 @JoyceWhiteVance @Morning_Joe @neal_katyal @MSNBC @nytimes @DeadlineWH @gtconway3d @Lawrence
@RonFilipkowski It’s weird to have someone on screen more ridiculous than Jesse Watters… But here we are
@RonFilipkowski Clay Travis gets prime time spot on Fox to repeat jury-sabotage call.
