MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Laura Ingraham vented her anger after Donald Trump was convicted in the hush money trial in Manhattan on Thursday, May 30.

At her 7 pm show on Fox News, the conservative television host accused the current administration of President Joe Biden and his aides of trapping Trump in the legal issue, as reported by The Mirror.

Laura Ingraham calls America a ‘Banana Republic’

She also asserted that the 12 jury members were not behind the guilty verdict but the far Left, while dubbing the court a “kangaroo court”.

Besides, the 60-year-old reportedly bizarrely claimed that the jurors may not have decided unanimously to announce their judgment against the Republican leader before claiming Trump's team would be able to overturn the decision.

The Republican leader's lawyers have time till June 13 to appeal.

Not only that, she even took to X to slam the ruling.

Ingraham wrote, “Guess we all have to shop at Banana Republic now.”



 

“This case was, from the outset, an ominous warning to anyone who dares in the future to challenge the Establishment. If they can do this to Trump, how will ANY America First Republican ever be able to compete again?” she added in another tweet.



 

Trump called the trial ‘rigged and disgraceful’

Ingraham’s anger came after Trump was found guilty of 34 charges he was facing because of his involvement in forging his business documents.

The ex-leader reportedly did so to give $130,000 to ex-porn star Stormy Daniels to cover up a sex scandal before his 2016 presidential run.

He, however, denied any wrongdoing after the verdict.

“This was a rigged, disgraceful trial. The real verdict is going to be November 5, by the people, and they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here. We didn’t do anything wrong. I’m a very innocent man,” Trump reportedly insisted.

Netizens remind Laura Ingraham that Trump is a ‘criminal’

Meanwhile, Ingraham’s statements have angered people online as a critic tweeted, “You are anti American.”



 

The second critic said, “Huh thought laws were broken and 12 Americans convicted him- not some establishment.”



 

The third one wrote, “Oh happy day... thanks to 12 ordinary New Yorkers..”



 

“Right, don't challenge the establishment if you've slept with a Porn star, had a year-long affair with a Playboy model, and paid off both of them to keep quiet so they don't upset your Presidential campaign, then cover up the crime by ordering your fixer to creating a false paper trail,” the fourth user noted.



 

The fifth one added, “He said the whole country is rigged yet somehow I can go to my job and put in a good day's work, come home to my wife and kids. And never be charged with any crimes that Donald Trump was charged with. I don’t need to cover things up. I follow the rules and be the best I can be.”



 

“You call a jury an establishment? He’s a criminal for God’s Sake!” an individual fired.



 



 

Another one added, “Laura Ingraham actually attended college in Russia for a semester.”
