two weeks ago. but the tone i think is dialing up. listen to lindsey graham on fox last night. this is literally legal voodoo. this is political persecution. this is a combination of political hatred and selective prosecution on steroids. how does this end sean trump wins in court and he wins the election. do not let them get away with this vote show up at the ballot box. donald j. trump dot com give the man some money so he can fight. mm hmm. and that is exactly what donald trump wants to hear as if he had written the script himself for lindsey graham. i mean, clearly, lindsey graham was going performing there, in part for donald trump is an audience music in the background. exactly there was a live audience, so they were at least there was that the former president and his team. i don t know how many minutes went by before the first fundraising appeal did go out. there is no doubt that they see
defend the former president, even as they don t know the full scope of charges that he is facing at speaker kevin mccarthy tweeted that they are going to use their majority to hold alvin bragg accountable. he also called this an unprecedented abuse of power. jim jordan, a key committee chair, called it outrageous. marty taylor green, another key trump ally, said she s actually going to go to new york city and tuesday to protest this indictment. and then senator lindsey graham, also a key committee member, a key trump ally. he has been particularly aggressive in his response. take a listen. this is legal voodoo. you got a misdemeanor that s been made of felony. nobody in the history of new york city has ever been prosecuted under this theory, except for donald j. trump. this case will follow, like a cheap suit under legal scrutiny. give the president some money to fight this bull. this is going to destroy america. we re going to fight back at the ballot box.
voodoo dominate these early responses, but there are some not so quick to rush to the former president s defense. i can t escaping feeling good idiot. great because we invented making it. the hiring process used to be the death of me, but without work. with up work. the hiring process i fast and flexible. behold all that challenge. not flossing. well, then add the woe of listerine to your routine. new science shows it gets in between teeth to destroy five times more plaque above the gum line, floss for a cleaner, healthier mouth. listerine feel the wo spent centuries evolving with the world. that s the nature of being the economy. observing
take trump from mar-a-lago so everything on the table here. frank figliuzzi, and carmen best, i thank you both very much. next, reaction to this indictment from the former top executive of the trump organization plus, what former vice president mike pence who could potentially run against his old boss in 2024 is saying about the indictment as republicans and top allies rally around the former president this is literally legal voodoo this is the most irresponsible and dangerous decision by a prosecutor in the history of the country. we ll build freelance teams with more agility. the old way of working is deader than me. we ll scale up, and we ll scale down before you re six feet underground. yes, this is how, this is how we work now.
that s for sure sam brock, thank you so much let s go to capitol hill where we re learning that the former president has been privately reaching out to his republican allies as they publicly rally around him julie tsirkin is there what can you tell us about that, julie? reporter: it s not surprising at all that the former president has been lobbying calls to his allies up here he did this most recently during kevin mccarthy s speakership battle it s not shocking that he s giving his allies calls at random times of the day about random things. in this case, it s significant that he called up allies, including congressman matt gaetz and senator lindsey graham about this case in the wake of his indictment last night and this morning. take a listen to what senator graham had to say on fox news last night watch. this is legal voodoo. you ve got a misdemeanor that s been made a felony nobody in the history of new york city has ever been prosecuted under this theory except for donald j.
