Fans of President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement flipped out on Wednesday after a lawyer who tried to help Trump overturn the 2020 election was officially disbarred.
John Eastman, one of the architects of Trump’s strategy to overturn his election loss, was disbarred in California, according to documents from the California Supreme Court. Eastman is the latest lawyer who has been disbarred for their efforts to help Trump. Others include Kenneth Cheesebro, Jenna Ellis, and Rudy Giuliani.
Several fans of Trump’s MAGA movement reacted to the news on social media.
“The California Supreme Court sent a clear and terrorizing message: If attorneys represent disfavored political candidates who challenge disputed elections, California will disbar them,” Mike Davis, an attorney with the Article III Project, posted on X. “While this happens in failed third-world countries, this should never happen in America.”
“This is a travesty,” Jeff Clark, a former Trump DOJ official involved in the effort to overturn the 2020 election, posted on X. “John represented the President in litigation challenging an election. That’s all. He lied about nothing. Reasonable minds can disagree about the 2020 election. He did what lawyers are supposed to do — represent disfavored individuals. And make no mistake, the elites, especially in bar apparatuses, disfavor and hate President Trump and anyone associated with him with a burning passion.”
“This is disgusting and so wrong. California is corrupt to its core,” Sidney Powell, one of Trump’s former attorneys, posted on X.
“This is an injustice that will be overturned,” MAGA influencer Douglass Mackey posted on X.
“An absolute injustice,” Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, posted on X.
