The Spin
Anti-Trump narrative
The "fake electors" scheme is one of the most shocking political scandals of the millennium, and it's about time those who participated are having to face the music. In addition to Arizona and other states that have already indicted these would-be usurpers of democracy, there are several investigations ongoing in other states. These cases are important for preventing a similar scheme in the future.
Pro-Trump narrative
These defendants were earnestly exercising their right to object to an election result they believed was rigged and should not face criminal charges. But the Democrats are again weaponizing the legal system to target Trump and his allies just after a poll showing the former president soundly beating Biden in the battleground states. This witch hunt knows no bounds.
