The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
Navarro, like Trump, is a victim of the corrupt Biden regime's weaponization of the justice system. Navarro didn't commit a crime, and it's unconstitutional to hold him in prison while he continues to attempt to clear his name. Sadly, Roberts showed he may also be part of the lawfare strategy being used against Trump and his allies.
Anti-Trump narrative
Navarro should be grateful he's only facing four months behind bars for contempt of Congress instead of the life sentence a treason conviction could bring him for his role in scheduling the Jan. 6 riots. Like Trump, Navarro has shown no regard for the rule of law and even a Republican-leaning SCOTUS disagreed with his pleas for mercy. He must be held accountable.
