Newsmax host Carl Higbie went on a tirade on Friday after former President Donald Trump was convicted by a Manhattan jury the day before.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to cover up extramarital affairs. Trump was concerned the affairs would come to light and harm his presidential aspirations. The Republican freakout has been swift if not predictable. Despite their outrage and indignation, some conservatives insist that being a convicted felon will help Trump’s chances of returning to the White House in November’s election.

During Friday’s edition of Frontline on Newsmax, Higbie demanded congressional Republicans drop everything and go after those involved in Trump’s prosecution.

    This is the most passive aggressive comment I’ve seen in a while, kudos.

      Haha it wasn’t meant to be passive aggressive. They were just being downvoted with zero interaction. So i wanted to say something, and wish them a good day. Maybe they are having a rough day. Most people around here are not bots.

      Have a good day!

        They keep commenting about how Israel, North Korea and the CCP are good actually. I’m glad you’re trying to cheer up people you disagree with, but I’m p.sure this is a troll or something.
