Democratic Congressman Dean Phillips of Minnesota told New York governor Kathy Hochul she should pardon former President Donald Trump "For the good of the country." The request came after the former president's conviction, even though Phillips is not a fan of Trump.
Over the weekend, Phillips said: "You think pardoning is stupid? Making him a martyr over a payment to a porn star is stupid. It's energizing his base, generating record sums of campaign cash, and will likely result in an electoral boost."
Within one day that Trump became the first former U.S. president to be convicted on criminal charges after he was found guilty of 34 felony charges for falsifying business records, his campaign announced it had raised nearly $53 million in the 24 hours after the conviction.
Seventy-seven percent of Republican voters and 43 percent of independents said they believe the conviction was driven by motivation to damage Trump's political career, according to a new Morning Consult poll released Saturday.
"Donald Trump is a serial liar, cheater, and philanderer, a six-time declarer of corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection, and a convicted felon who thrives on portraying himself as a victim," Phillips wrote in a post on X on Friday, before going on to say that Hochul should pardon him anyway.
