Trump: ‘This Is a Very Sad Day for America ... This Is a Persecution of a Political Opponent’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Well, thank you very much. This is a very sad day for America and it was also very sad driving through Washington, D.C., and seeing the filth and the decay and all of the broken buildings and walls and the graffiti. This is not the place that I left. It’s a very sad thing to see it. When you look at what’s happening, this is a persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in America. This is the persecution of the person that’s leading by very, very substantial numbers in the Republican primary and leading Biden by a lot. So if you can’t beat him, you persecute him, or you prosecute him. We can’t let this happen in America. Thank you very much.”
