Ellis, one of 18 Trump associates charged in Georgia election subversion case, says she ā€˜simply canā€™t support himā€™ again

Jenna Ellis ā€“ the Donald Trump lawyer who like the former president faces criminal charges regarding attempted election subversion in his defeat by Joe Biden in 2020 ā€“ says she will not vote for him in the future because he is a ā€œmalignant narcissistā€ who cannot admit mistakes.

ā€œI simply canā€™t support him for elected office again,ā€ Ellis said. ā€œWhy I have chosen to distance is because of that frankly malignant narcissistic tendency to simply say that heā€™s never done anything wrong.ā€

Ellis, 38, was speaking on her show on American Family Radio, a rightwing evangelical network run by the American Family Association, a non-profit that by its own description has been ā€œon the frontlines of Americaā€™s culture warā€ since 1977.

    Like Chris Christie, she supported him for 4 years and then only at the end was suddenly shocked to discover he was a bad guy. Of course he claims he soured on Trump after the Jan 6 insurrection and she broke with hm publicly only after she gets charged alongside him and faces mandatory minimum prison time.

      I think sheā€™s virtue signaling for the court. Hoping to sway sentencing when it comes (or praying they let her off now that she sees Trumpā€™s a turd).

        Could be that sheā€™s announcing that unless DJT starts paying for her lawyer sheā€™s going stateā€™s evidence.

          Well I donā€™t see DT doing that considering he canā€™t pay for his own at this point.

          I hope youā€™re right about the states evidence.
