Stephanie Ruhle, host of The 11th Hour, joined an MSNBC panel on Thursday night to gloat and bloviate about former President Donald Trump’s 34 felony convictions.
During the discussion, she contributed a novel theory, declaring with certainty that Trump’s continued supporters signaled a scary reality: “ultimate power” in the hands of the GOP.
Ruhle described her experience of various conversations with GOP donors, immediately following the verdict, “who in the last month have sort of coalesced around Donald Trump and said, you know, like, ‘I may have been with Nikki Haley, I may have liked Ron DeSantis, but no, Trump’s my guy.’” She recounted how “not one single person that I called seemed to be fazed,” and for some reason seemed bewildered that “no one I spoke to said he was innocent” but instead “went after Alvin Bragg.”
