Trump attacks Letitia James as corrupt outside courtroom, she responds by playing the race card.
Trump Unleashes on ‘Corrupt’ Letitia James Outside Courtroom, Then She Plays the Race Card
By now, we have all come to recognize the telltale signs of liberal desperation and weakness of character.
Outside a courtroom in New York on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump repeatedly and rightly referred to New York Attorney General Letitia James as “corrupt.”
Strangely yet predictably, the liberal Democrat James, who is black, called these comments “race-baiting.”
James has sued Trump and the Trump Organization for fraud. But the case has no victims. No banks or insurers have accused the former president of defrauding them.
The attorney general, however, has claimed that Trump overvalued his assets.
Last week, Judge Arthur Engoron, a Democrat, collaborated with James by valuing Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, at a comically low $18 million.
On Wednesday, Trump lashed out at his persecutors, especially James.
“She’s totally corrupt,” Trump said.
“She just wanted the publicity to run for governor, and then she failed running for governor. She had practically nothing in terms of votes. But she went after Trump because she was running for governor.”
Trump then noted that James “got the judge” to assign that ridiculous million valuation to Mar-a-Lago.
Finally, Trump bemoaned James’ obvious political motives and how they affected his ongoing campaign for president.
“I’m … stuck here and I can’t campaign. I’d rather be right now in Iowa. I’d rather be in New Hampshire or South Carolina or Ohio, or a lot of other places,” he said.
“But I’m stuck here because I have a corrupt attorney general that communicates with the [Department of Justice] in Washington to keep me nice and busy.”

James responded with a pair of deranged yet predictable statements.
First, speaking to reporters outside the courtroom, James labeled Trump’s comments “offensive” and “baseless.”
But she went further.
“What they were were comments that unfortunately fomented violence, comments that I would describe as race-baiting, comments unfortunately that [appeal] to the bottom of our humanity,” she said.
While painting herself as a victim, she accused Trump of having political motives.
“Lastly, I will not be bullied. And so Mr. Trump is no longer here. The Donald Trump show is over. This was nothing more than a political stunt,” she said of Trump’s response to the case she brought.

Then, in a recorded message posted on X, James once again played the race card.
“Dangerous and racist comments will not deter me,” she said. “The laws of this great state and nation apply equally to everyone — even Donald Trump.”

Trump’s comments were so clearly devoid of anything related to race that one feels absurd even pointing out the obvious. After all, one assumes that others can see that as well.
But the phrase “blinded by hatred” exists for a reason. James lies because she hates Trump. She is not alone.
A more hopeful way of viewing James’ race card would be to regard it as it is — a signal that James knows she has brought a weak case.
Furthermore, she knows that Trump accurately described both her behavior and motives. That presented her with a problem for which the race card was her only play.
It is one thing to spend years dreaming of “getting” Trump while conniving with other powerful Democrats, but it is another thing to have the emptiness of your case and the nefariousness of your intentions exposed to public scrutiny.
Thus, James positioned herself as a victim to deflect attention from those defects.
As it always does, the race card revealed the weakness of her character.

What evidence has James provided to support her allegations against Trump and the Trump Organization

Following his comments, James responded by playing the race card, accusing Trump of “race-baiting.” This is a classic tactic used by liberals when they have no legitimate argument to make. Rather than addressing the claims of corruption made against her, James attempted to deflect attention by accusing Trump of racism.
This is not the first time James has resorted to such tactics. Throughout her career as New York Attorney General, she has consistently used identity politics to shield herself from criticism. Whenever her actions are called into question, James claims that the criticism is racially motivated rather than addressing the actual issues at hand.
But the facts speak for themselves. James has spent an extraordinary amount of time, money, and resources targeting Trump and the Trump Organization with baseless allegations. She has gone after him with a vengeance, hoping to tarnish his reputation and advance her own political career. And yet, despite all of her efforts, she has failed to produce any concrete evidence of wrongdoing.
In fact, the only thing that has been proven in this case is James’ own bias and political motivations. Her decision to collaborate with Judge Engoron, a Democrat, and assign an absurdly low valuation to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate is a clear indication of her agenda. It is a blatant attempt to undermine Trump and advance her own political ambitions.
Despite the lack of evidence, James continues to push forward with her baseless lawsuit, wasting taxpayer dollars in the process. And rather than accepting any responsibility for her actions, she chooses to play the victim and accuse Trump of racism.
This is a pattern we have seen time and time again from liberals. When faced with criticism or scrutiny, they resort to personal attacks and accusations of racism in an attempt to deflect attention from the real issues. It is a tactic of desperation, a sign that they have no legitimate argument to make.
But the American people see through these tactics. They see James for what she truly is – a corrupt politician who will stop at nothing to advance her own political career. And they see Trump for what he is – a strong leader who is willing to fight for what he believes in.
Trump’s comments outside the courtroom were not an example of racism, but rather a justified response to the baseless accusations and political motivations of James. It is time for James to stop playing the victim and address the real issues at hand. The American people deserve better than a corrupt attorney general who is more interested in advancing her own agenda than upholding the law.
In the end, it is Trump who will have the last laugh. Despite the constant attacks and baseless lawsuits, he remains a powerful force in American politics. And no amount of race-baiting or personal attacks will change that.
