But one moment in particular stood out during his speech in South Carolina this weekend, according to Michael Steele, former Republican National Committee chair.
It’s a line recently added to his speeches referring to his arrest and indictment last month.
“They want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom,” he told the crowd.
But Steele, a longtime Trump critic from the right, isn’t buying what he called “utter bullshit.”
As Steele suggests, the allegations against Trump have nothing to do with anyone else’s freedom. He was indicted on 37 counts related to the alleged mishandling of classified materials and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them.
Others accused of similar crimes have been routinely prosecuted and sentenced to prison.
