Alternatively…

If the courts in New York come after any of you because of something you said, because you said something the ruling class didn't like, and that's what all these other countries are about," he continued. "They want to be sure that anyone that speaks up against the ruling class disappears." 
"They want to take him off the main stage because they know he is their biggest danger to take on the ruling class." 
"Isn't Donald Trump part of the ruling class?" one nearby journalist asked. 
Patrick quickly fired back: 'Now, no, you know what? Donald Trump is not the ruling class. Donald Trump is for every New Yorker. He's for every Texan, every, every state." 
"Donald Trump has put his whole life on the line, his whole life on the line for the American people," he added. 
Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka lashed out at the journalist. "Would a member of the ruling class be facing 730 years in prison?" he asked. "What a pathetic question, 730 years in prison, and he's a member of the elite. That's pathetic. You're not a journalist."
The rule of law applies to everyone?

And Dan Patrick is the independently wealthy Lieutenant Governor of Texas, in charge of the Texas Senate. You don’t get much more “ruling class” than that. Trump is a self-proclaimed billionaire who owns four (or five?) golf courses, a jet, and a Florida resort that costs more to join than most Americans earn. But he’s not the “ruling class?”

The funniest part is Patrick co-opting the language of ‘60’s college students.  It reminds me of a now-vintage ad showing a white-haired man in a corner office telling his assistant how he just saved money using the product (or something). “It’s just my way of sticking it to The Man,” the executive says. Bewildered, the assistant answers: “But sir! I thought you were The Man!”

Is MAGA really this stupid?
