Former President Trump is expressing his dissatisfaction with a lawsuit filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) in an attempt to prevent him from appearing on the ballot in Colorado in 2024. Trump claims that the lawsuit is a baseless and unconstitutional effort to bar him, despite his significant lead in the polls against other potential candidates like DeSanctimonious and “Crooked Joe.”
Trump took to his Truth Social platform to denounce CREW and its members, referring to them as “Trump Deranged” and accusing them of being “slime balls.” He specifically called out individuals such as Norm Eisen, associated with the Brookings Institution, and Andrew Weissmann and Joyce Vance, among others. He also highlighted that CREW had previously filed a lawsuit against him concerning the emoluments clause, but had lost the case.
Notably, Trump asserted that CREW is collaborating with Special Counsel Jack Smith, who has indicted Trump on two separate occasions. One indictment is related to Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, while the other pertains to document handling. Trump claimed that CREW’s activities, in conjunction with Smith and others, amount to unprecedented levels of election interference. He warned that they would face significant repercussions for their actions, which he believes are detrimental to America.
In summary, Trump vehemently opposes the lawsuit filed by CREW to keep him off the Colorado ballot, asserting that it is unfounded and unconstitutional. He accuses the group of being radical leftists and working in collaboration with Special Counsel Jack Smith, whom he holds responsible for indicting him. Trump maintains that he is leading in the polls and suggests that CREW’s actions constitute election interference of an unprecedented scale.
