Newly Freed Rod Blagojevich Has a Message For His Fellow Democrats About How They Treat President Trump

President Trump is a fair leader who looks at corruption the same way regardless of who s being punished

By Missy Crane | February 19, 2020

Many people are wondering why President Trump released Governor Rod Blagojevich.

I’ll tell you why: Because the punishment didn’t fit the crime.

Just like with Roger Stone, a case in which the suggested sentencing was totally excessive and unfair. For President Trump, it’s not about if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. It’s about right and wrong, fair and unfair.

And that’s how it should be.

Yesterday, Blagojevich walked out of prison when President Trump cut short the “excessive and ridiculous” 14-year prison sentence the former Illinois governor received for political corruption. And when he left the prison gates, he was met by a swarm of reporters and had a message for his fellow Democrats regarding how they’ve treated President Trump, as well as a kind “thank you” to our America First President for setting him free.

You can watch the video below:

President Trump is a fair leader who looks at corruption the same way regardless of who is being punished – someone on the left or right or somebody not even political will receive the same treatment.

That’s what you want from a leader.

We were politicized and polarized enough by Barack Obama. It’s nice to have somebody who is “fair and balanced” in the White House.
