National security attorney Bradley Moss on Friday argued that Trump supporters' stunned reaction to the former president's guilty verdict is a direct reflection of their media consumption. Specifically, Moss argued that right-wing media outlets have been systematically misleading their viewers in their coverage of former President Donald Trump's Manhattan hush money trial.
"I almost feel bad for Trump’s base that lives and breathes based on what they hear from Newsmax, Fox News and talk radio," wrote Moss on Twitter. "They’ve been fed a steady stream of legal garbage for the last 14 months. Over and over they were told by 'legal scholars' that the case was falling apart. That someone was intervening to save Trump. That there was no case. There was no crime. The Trump legal team was destroying the prosecutor’s case."
This bubble of illusion came to a crashing halt on Thursday afternoon when a jury of Trump's peers found him guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up his hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. "Reality sank in yesterday afternoon and they don’t know how to process it," he argued. "It’s like Election Day 2020 all over again."
