Esta semana, destacamos algunos de los delincuentes, locos y convictos que componen el Partido Republicano MAGA de Donald Trump. Mientras Trump supuestamente considera traer de regreso a Paul Manafort para ayudar en su campaña, el director de medios hispanos del Comité Nacional Demócrata, Marco Frieri, emitió la siguiente declaración

“Donald Trump no puede encontrar a nadie mejor para ayudar a dirigir una convención multimillonaria que el delincuente y estafador convicto Paul Manafort. Sus calificaciones para unirse al elenco de apoyo de Trump incluyen la condena bipartidista por su “grave amenaza de contrainteligencia” y un historial plagado de fraude bancario y fiscal. Pero dado el historial del resto del círculo interno de Trump de negacionistas electorales, conspiracionistas y absolutos bichos raros, no podemos pensar en nadie mejor para ayudar a dirigir el circo de Trump que Manafort”.

A pesar de las múltiples condenas de Paul Manafort por fraude, Donald Trump está “decidido” en traerlo de regreso para ayudar en su campaña.

Univision: “​​Trump ha perdonado a su amigo de larga data Roger Stone y a su exjefe de campaña, Paul Manafort. Ambos mintieron a los investigadores federales y no colaboraron en la investigación”.

 New York Times: “Paul Manafort, a top adviser to Donald J. Trump’s 2016 campaign who was pardoned by the former president at the end of his White House term, is in discussions to return to help with the Republican National Convention.”

“Mr. Manafort was found guilty in late August 2018 of a range of financial crimes, including tax and bank fraud.

“In September 2018, Mr. Manafort pleaded guilty to additional charges brought by Mr. Mueller and agreed to cooperate. But as the case proceeded, Mr. Mueller said that Mr. Manafort had not been truthful in his cooperation, breaching that plea deal.”

Telemundo Washington: “El exjefe de campaña de Donald Trump, Paul Manafort, ha sido identificado en documentos judiciales por tener contactos con la inteligencia rusa, y de estar conectado con un asociado de alto nivel del crimen organizado ruso, y además de ser un estafador convicto y evasor de impuestos”.

Washington Post: “Former president Donald Trump is expected to enlist Paul Manafort, the former campaign manager he pardoned, as a campaign adviser later this year, according to four people familiar with the talks.

“The job discussions have largely centered around the 2024 Republican convention in Milwaukee in July and could include Manafort playing a role in fundraising for the presumptive GOP nominee’s campaign, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private deliberations. While no formal decision has been made, the four people described the hiring as expected and said Trump was determined to bring Manafort back into the fold.”

Washington Post: “Former president Donald Trump is preparing to bring back into his campaign fold a man convicted of multiple crimes and whom a bipartisan Senate report labeled a ‘grave counterintelligence threat’ because of his ties to a Russian spy.”

The Independent: “Trump ‘may recruit Paul Manafort to 2024 campaign’ – despite jail time and alleged ties to Russian spies”

Trump no puede dejar de rodearse de negacionistas electorales, conspiracionistas y convictos.

CNN en Español: “El expresidente Donald Trump recibió al nacionalista blanco y negacionista del Holocausto Nick Fuentes y al rapero Kanye West en su residencia de Mar-a-Lago, Florida, esta semana, lo que demuestra su continua disposición a asociarse con figuras que tienen opiniones antisemitas bastante públicas mientras se embarca en otra carrera por llegar a la Casa Blanca”.

Telemundo: “La activista política de extrema derecha y aliada de Trump Laura Loomer sembró una teoría conspirativa sobre el recuento de los caucus de Iowa. La complicada afirmación de Loomer sobre la corrupción reflejaba rumores infundados anteriores que flotaron en 2020”. 

Axios: “Trump eyes convicts and conspiracists for 2024 reunion”

“Sidelined characters from former President Trump’s past campaigns — ‘crazies,’ some of his top advisers call them — are reattaching themselves to his inner circle now that he’s locked up the Republican nomination. … ex-advisers, conspiracy theorists and convicted felons are now knocking on the campaign’s door — and some are getting in.”

The Guardian: “Headache for campaign team as Trump gets the band back together”

New York Times: “Former President Donald J. Trump recently told aides to hire Laura Loomer, a far-right and anti-Muslim activist with a history of expressing bigoted views, for a campaign role, according to four people familiar with the plans. Mr. Trump met with Ms. Loomer recently and directed advisers to give her a role in support of his candidacy.”

Rolling Stone: “They Helped Trump Plan a Coup. He Wants Them Back for a Second Term”

The Hill: “Trump says he’ll bring back Michael Flynn if he wins in 2024: ‘He’s some man’” 

CNN: “Trump hosted Holocaust denier at Mar-a-Lago estate during visit with Kanye West, a week after announcing 2024 run”
