Jen Psaki Concedes ‘Biden Isn’t Perfect’ But Warns Trump Would ‘Unravel the Rule of Law as We Know It’

MSNBC host Jen Psaki warned viewers during her Sunday show monologue that if former President Donald Trump regains office he would “unravel the rule of law as we know it.”

Psaki played a clip of Trump talking about indicting his political rivals in a recent Univision interview. She implored her viewers to listen to the things Trump is promising, adding “this is some truly scary, authoritarian, banana republic-type stuff.”

Trump currently faces four criminal indictments in four different jurisdictions for a number of alleged offenses, including trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election and handling of classified documents.

Moreover, he is also the clear Republican frontrunner in the GOP primary and is a currently a heavy favorite to face President Joe Biden in a 2020 rematch. In comparing the potential options for voters next November, Psaki noted that “[President Joe] Biden isn’t perfect” but “we have to understand what the alternative here is.”

If elected to a second term, Donald Trump would prosecute anyone he deems an enemy, unleashed troops on protesters and essentially unravel the rule of law as we know it. And this time, he plans to line his administration with people who will actually help him do it. Joe Biden is three years older and occasionally trips over things. Look, there’s a lot to be concerned about right now when it comes to a second Trump term. The speeches are getting much more disturbing and much more unhinged, and we should all hear it that way. It’s also important to talk about all of this and important to call it out. But there is nothing more important than digging into his actual plans. The faintest of silver linings here is that Trump is warning us in his own voice with a microphone on and a camera rolling. By the way, he’s telling us exactly what he plans to do. We all just need to listen.
