Stephanopoulos: The N.Y. Jurors Presented a Choice, Do We Want To Be Led by a Convicted Felon?

EXCERPT:

STEPHANOPOULOS: “In 1774, John Adams said, representative government and trial by jury are the heart and lungs of liberty. Two hundred and fifty years later, the heart and lungs of liberty are facing what may be the ultimate stress test. 11 anonymous jurors rendered their verdict on Thursday, finding Donald Trump guilty on all counts. It’s the third time in the last two years that jurors have rendered verdicts against Trump. Jurors have yet to consider charges against Trump for even more serious crimes, blocking the peaceful transfer of power, concealing classified documents, encouraging the filing of false electors. But for now, the New York jurors have already presented their fellow citizens with a choice, do we want to be represented, to be led for the first time in history by a convicted felon? That answer will come in November.”
