SHOT/CHASER: Mike Lawler’s Fake Principles Unsurprisingly Flip-Flop After Trump Conviction

Lawler served as a delegate for Trump in 2016 and worked on a multi-million dollar effort to re-elect the MAGA extremist in 2020

SHOT: In August 2023, Mike Lawler claimed that “if [Trump’s] convicted, he should not be running for public office – period.”

CHASER: On Sunday, Lawler “sharply criticized the prosecution against Trump. And he pointedly said: ‘I already said I am’ when asked if he still backs Trump at the top of his ticket.”

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“Mike Lawler unsurprisingly is rushing to defend his party’s MAGA figurehead after he was convicted of a felony, like we always knew he would. Lower Hudson Valley voters will see right through Lawler’s hypocrisy in November.”
