Don't expect someone who represented Trump and his lies to be a decent human being...even one who has been publicly rebuked

Jenna Ellis, a former Cheeto attorney, has had a (very) busy week.

She was censured and cruel, all in the same week.


First, the "censure" part:

Trump 2020 lawyer admits misrepresenting stolen election claims

Jenna Ellis, an attorney for Donald Trump who helped drive his false claims about the 2020 election results, has admitted in a Colorado disciplinary proceeding that she misrepresented evidence at least 10 times during Trump’s frantic bid to subvert his defeat.

“Respondent made these misrepresentations on Twitter and on various television programs, including Fox Business, MSNBC, Fox News, and Newsmax,” Colorado’s top disciplinary judge Bryon Large wrote in a six-page opinion. “The parties agree that by making these misrepresentations, Respondent violated [a state attorney rule of conduct], which provides that it is professional misconduct for a lawyer to engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.”

Large issued a public censure of Ellis for her stipulated conduct.

Then, the "cruel" part:

Ex-Trump Lawyer Posts Cruel Video Mocking Mitch McConnell’s Hospitalization

Jenna Ellis, an ex-legal adviser to former President Donald Trump, sparked anger on Thursday with another sick hot take.

The lawyer responded to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization for concussion treatment after he fell at a dinner function with mockery.

Ellis, who earlier this week was censured for spewing Trump’s 2020 election lies, shared a video featuring a turtle falling downstairs. McConnell has for years been likened to a turtle from both sides of the aisle.


For the record, I am NOT a fan of McConnell, but I don't wish physical injury on *anyone*, even him.  For this, I wish him a speedy recovery.

Electoral losses?

Of course. :)

Physical injury?

No.
