Outraged Biden blasts Trump after jury finds him guilty in liberal New York

"It's reckless, dangerous, and irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict"


He says, "Before I begin my remarks, I just want to say a few words about what happened yesterday in New York City. The American principle that no one is above the law was reaffirmed. Donald Trump was given every opportunity to defend himself. It was a state case, not a federal case, and it was heard by a jury of twelve citizens.


Twelve Americans. Twelve people like you, like millions of Americans who serve on juries. This jury was chosen the same way every jury in America is chosen. It was a process that Donald Trump's attorney was part of.

"The jury heard five weeks of evidence. Five weeks. And after careful deliberation, the jury reached a unanimous verdict. They found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts. He will be given the opportunity, as he should, to appeal that decision, just like everyone else has that opportunity. That's how the American system of justice works.

"It's reckless, it's dangerous, and it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict. Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, and it is literally the cornerstone of America. Our justice system should be respected, and we should never allow anyone to tear it down. It's as simple as that."
