During a recent appearance on Fox News, Trump lawyer Alina Habba criticized those on the left who have called to keep the former president’s name off the ballot ahead of the election later this year. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a bombshell ruling that prevented Colorado from removing Donald Trump from its ballot under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, also referred to as the “Insurrection Clause.
Speaking to Fox News host Jesse Watters, Habba noted that the reaction from leftists to the decision from the nation’s highest court is similar to that of when Trump won the election. “Do you know what it reminds me of Jessie? Do you remember in 2016 and 2020 and you had these, these women, they’re memes now of them crying when Donald Trump won? Just the outbreak. I remember waking up at 2am and watching liberals just shed liberal tears. That is what’s happening. Why because America won today,” she said.
The prominent member of Trump’s legal team sounded off on those opposing the Supreme Court ruling, asserting that the outcome prevented the United States from descending into political corruption observed in third-world countries and Banana Republics.
“Imagine crying because the Constitution is standing strong and we’re not going to turn into Cuba. That’s Trump derangement syndrome 101 Right there. We’re so upset because the Constitution was upheld today, because the Supreme Court showed us that we are not Cuba. We are not a third world country. We are not a Banana Republic, and that the things I’ve seen over the past four months in New York are not going to become America,” she added.
Habba further called out left-leaning news networks, such as CNN and MSNBC, for throwing “tantrums” after it was determined states do not have the authority to invoke the “Insurrection Clause” and remove presidential candidates from their ballots.
“And what does MSNBC, “The View,” and CNN do? They have tantrums? It’s literally epic to watch. But we did say this is a clean cut Supreme Court decision. it’s constitutional. They were trying to do something that would have been hurtful to Democrats and Republicans and that’s what people need to remember. It’s about America first. It’s not about Trump. It’s about us,” she stated.
Habba also explained that the hysteric outrage from the left over the ballot decision is a sign of desperation. “I mean, it’s what they’re always doing. They double down the triple down and they become desperate. I’m not sure where their PR people are, but they should take a look at the polls. What they’re doing is not working,” she said.
The lawyer ultimately suggested that former President Trump just wants to compete in a fair, Democratic process. Habba called Biden and the Democrats to cease their politicized legal attacks against Trump and to let voters decide on the candidates.
“And what President Trump said today was so articulate, and so on point he was calm. He was measured, and he said it very clearly. President Biden, do your job. Stop attacking me fight fair and square. I don’t want to win this way. I want to win fair and square. You’ve got to take your henchmen off of me your witch hunts your election interference cases. And if you can walk, walk your way to the ballot in 2024 and vote, but he is not able to do so. And that’s the truth,” said Habba.
