Ben-Ghiat on Trump’s Mug Shot: This Is Telling the American People and Our Allies that ‘We Do Consider Everyone Equal in the Law’

RUSH EXCERPT:
BEN-GHIAT: "We have been an outlier because Donald Trump instigated a violent coup attempt over two years ago, and until now, has paid very little price. There’s an enormous consequence to this. He’s been able to hold on to his personality cult, he’s been able to continue to get, you know, money from his supporters. And it sends a message to our allies that we haven’t been serious about holding him to account. So this mugshot is telling not only the American people but our allies that we do consider everyone equal in the law."
