North Carolina Rep. Dan Bishop (R) likened former President Trump’s legal issues to the struggles of Black individuals in the segregated South. “It’s as bad as it was in Alabama in 1950 … if a person happened to be Black, in order to get justice,” Bishop stated on “The Pete Kaliner Show” on Charlotte’s WBT radio. He asserted that Trump’s conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records in New York was “fundamentally rigged.”
Bishop criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and special counsel Jack Smith, claiming they misused their power and should be prosecuted for election interference. Bishop, running for North Carolina attorney general, reiterated on X that Trump’s trial represented “election interference” and accused the justice system of being weaponized against political opponents.
Rep. Jeff Jackson (D-N.C.), Bishop’s opponent for attorney general, countered on X, criticizing Bishop’s dismissal of the unanimous jury verdict as “rigged” and calling it “dishonest and destructive.”
