Here's Patrick during an interview with Newxmax TV's Chris Salcedo this Friday, crying MAGA tears for convicted felon Trump that they've all fallen in line behind:
PATRICK: I'm not a judge or a lawyer, but I presided over the impeachment trial. I learned a lot. I studied how to be a judge, how to give jury instructions. This jury, 34 charges, and they come back like that. It's clear to me they didn't consider any of the evidence.

They didn't even analyze the evidence that was presented. There was no crime. There was no evidence he did anything wrong, and America is at great risk because of this judge.
