Victor Davis Hanson Slams the ‘Baffling' Ruling in the E. Jean Carroll Case Against Trump
2024-01-30
[Gateway] Conservative historian and scholar recently wrote about the E. Jean Carroll ruling against Trump, taking special aim at changes in New York law that took place prior to the case and pointing out that this is just one piece of the endless lawfare the left is aiming at Trump.

Hanson calls the case ’baffling’ and notes the inconsistencies in Carroll’s story.

Hanson put his thoughts in a lengthy post on Twitter/X:

The civil suit serves as a mere preview of four additional leftwing criminal prosecutions, leftwing judges, and leftwing juries to come—all on charges that would never had been filed if Trump either had not run for president or been a liberal progressive.

Yet here we are.

The E. Jean Carroll case is the most baffling of all five. She, the alleged victim, did not remember even the year in which the purported sexual assault took place, nearly three decades ago. Observers have pointed out dozens of inconsistencies in her story.

It was never clear what were the preliminaries that supposedly (Trump denies meeting her) led both, allegedly, willingly to retreat together to a department store dressing room, where during normal business hours the alleged violence took place.

Moreover, the sexual assault complaint came forward decades post facto—and only after Trump was running for and then president.

Hanson gets into the background of how we got here:

#5  "Carroll says she’ll do anything she can to help Biden beat Trump"

It appears to me that Mr. Trump is the one who said "No."

#4  Bunch of white liberals engaging in their wet dream of playing a bigoted stereotype of southern whites treating a black man on trial.

#2  Baffling? Did someone sleep through the last half of the 20th century? Go back and watch the part about the Chinese Cultural Revolution and maybe read a little Orwell.
