Megyn Kelly has warned Democrats that Donald Trump‘s felony conviction opens a ‘Pandora’s box’ that means no one is safe.
Former president Trump was found guilty by a jury of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the so-called ‘hush money’ trial in New York.
Trump covered up payments to, among others, pornstar Stormy Daniels to hide extramarital affairs and now faces jail time.
Kelly lashed out at the verdict on Twitter minutes after it was delivered, calling for the district attorney who prosecuted him to be banned from practicing law.
‘The country is disgraced. Alvin Bragg should be disbarred. They will rue the day they unleashed this lawfare to corrupt a presidential election,’ she wrote.
Kelly followed up with a six-minute rant on her SiriusXM podcast in which she warned that prosecuting Trump meant Democrats could be too.
She predicted ‘tit-for-tat’ indictments of anyone from President Joe Biden and his wife Jill to former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and Hilary Clinton.
‘This is ridiculous. What a sad day. The country’s been disgraced. That’s what’s happened,’ she began.
‘We made it almost 250 years without doing this. And now, because of falsified business records, we’ve convicted as a felon a former president of the US.’
Kelly argued the case against Trump was so petty that if Republicans looked hard enough they could build one against former Democratic presidents.
‘You don’t think we could have done something like this to Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton or others?’ she said.
‘We had a standard. We didn’t do this in America. We aren’t a banana republic, or at least we didn’t used to be.’
