When a jury which included Trump voters speedily reached a unanimous verdict, finding that former president Donald Trump had sexually abused and defamed E.Jean Carroll and demonstrated careful consideration of the facts by finding the evidence of rape insufficient, one would think that all reasonable people would accept the verdict as just and fair. Not so.
At a Trump “town hall” conducted on CNN, which more accurately could be described as a campaign rally, a crowd of Trump supporters, including so-called undeclared voters, laughed and applauded as Mr. Trump repeated his defamatory attack on Ms. Carroll and his whine about witch-hunts.This sorry spectacle reinforces the fear that, for a substantial segment of the American public and a majority of Republicans, the rule of law and common decency may be irretrievably lost.
