Democrats and Never Trump Republicans have coalesced around a common talking point following a New York appeals court’s decision to reduce the bond that former President Donald Trump must post to appeal a civil fraud case.

The bond was lowered from $464 million to $175 million. They argue that this adjustment underscores a perception of a two-tiered justice system from which the former president benefits.

Former New York Assistant Attorney General Tristan Snell told MSNBC on Monday, “This is a different process for this person. We have decided that he gets his own private court of justice. He has a private plane. He has private clubs that he lives in. Apparently, he basically fashioned himself a private militia to try to take over the Capitol. Now he’s getting his own private system of justice. This is an absolute travesty. It would not happen for anybody else.”

Former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki said, “Of course there is a tw0-tiered justice system in this country. … But it is definitely not tiered in the way that Donald Trump is describing. And he’s implying that he is the one who is treated worse. When actually, the opposite is true.”

That talking point was amplified by Democrat social media “influencers,” Breitbart News has reported.
