Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis turns on 'malignant narcissist' ex-president

[UpInArms]

Just going to post the good part

That effort failed. American Family Radio signed up Ellis in December last year. On her show on Thursday, she spoke to Steve Deace, another rightwing host.

Deace said: “Before that man [Trump] needs to be president again … [to] escape the quote-unquote, ‘witch-hunts’, that man needs Jesus again because … his ambitions would be fueled by showing some self-awareness. And he won’t do it because he can’t admit, ‘I’m not God.’”

Ellis said Deace had “perfectly articulated exactly how I as a voter feel”. She knew Trump well “as a friend, as a former boss”, she said, adding: “I have great love and respect for him personally.

“But everything that you just said resonates with me as exactly why I simply can’t support him for elected office again. Why I have chosen to distance is because of that, frankly, malignant narcissistic tendency to simply say that he’s never done anything wrong.

“And the total idolatry that I’m seeing from some of the supporters that are unwilling to put the constitution and the country and the conservative principles above their love for a star is really troubling.

“And I think that we do need to, as Americans and as conservatives and particularly as Christians, take this very seriously and understand where are we putting our vote.”

1. Sing, Jenna, sing.

Nail that narcissistic asshole. You can tell the truth.

[tanyev]

2. So she's come back to what she "believed" in 2016.

She only became pro-Trump when she started getting paychecks from Trump. And if that cheapskate had agreed to pay her legal fees, no doubt she'd still be completely loyal.

3. Legal-like Barbie

From the article:

Described by the New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman as “a lawyer whom Trump sought out after seeing her television commentary”, in 2020 Ellis rose from relative obscurity to become part of what she called an “elite strike force team” working to overturn Trump’s defeat by Biden.

21. She'll look marvelous.

Won’t feel marvelous, but, hey! Lay down with fleas…

4. Pot, meet kettle. But it's a good thing.

[greymattermom]

5. So will he dump her now?

Will she have to get her own lawyer? The show goes on.

[paleotn]

6. Is she turning on him because of all that gobblygook

or is it she feels he can't win since he's damaged goods and a lost cause? Me thinks the later.

As for her being "troubled" about his mindless supporters, isn't following blindly a Christian thing to start with?

2 Corinthians 5 -7 " For we walk by faith, not by sight."

Not by sight. So they're kind of predisposed to metaphorically walking into walls and stumbling over furniture.

24. She's turned on him because he won't pay her legal bills

And that's because she's a DeSantis supporter.

She's still the same rotten person.

[jayschool2013]

7. She'll still vote for him.

Bill Barr Syndrome.

8. It's okay he hardly knew her...

She may have brought him cofefe a few times and possibly steamed his trousers while he was wearing them.

10. "love for a star"

I'm never going to understand this "love" for an obnoxiously self-obsessed turd who has lied and cheated his way through every aspect of his life.

[Wounded Bear]

11. Indeed! nt

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

16. Because "God"...

...chose him to show (fake) Christians how to avoid pesky democratic norms to advance their power. The end justifies the means.

The Fake Christians a.ka. Republicans are sick and we had plenty of warnings too, including the fact that those adults believe in magic. A giant flashing red light.

12. "I have great love and respect for him personally.

“Why I have chosen to distance is because of that, frankly, malignant narcissistic tendency to simply say that he’s never done anything wrong."

How does anyone love and respect any individual who has a "malignant narcissistic tendency to say he's never done anything wrong?"

[NCjack]

13. She doesn't have the smarts and guts to save herself by flipping.

[Septua]

14. "And I think that we do need to, as Americans and as conservatives and...

..particularly as Christians, take this very seriously and understand where are we putting our vote.”

Way too many right-wingers continually having to remind us that they got religion.

Watch what they do, not what they say.

15. Ride the beast until it throws you off.

[Martin68]

20. More like "Feed off the beast's handouts until they dry up."

[Danascot]

18. She's getting close to the point

where "I never imagined that if I hung out with leopards they would someday eat my face."

[Martin68]

19. But she's obviously either still under his spell or scared to death of him.

22. She was an efficient COVID super-spreader

And since she and Ghouliani were shoulder to shoulder during the 2020 election CT spreader events, it makes one wonder if Ghouliani's reference to "insurance" has now become a dud (and possibly so given the idiocy of Comer's assertions about Biden), and a throwing under the bus event will happen soon.

23. Who is surprised by this?

There will be more defections as people cannot pay their attorney fees
