78-time indictment recipient Donald Trump. Has his latest attorney John Lauro, on a media tour. To claim that West Virginia is “much more diverse” than Washington, D.C. In his calls, for a venue change in the case charging his client. Who illegally attempted to overturn the 2020 election.
Could Lauro be correct? Is West Virginia more diverse than Washington D.C.. In the words of Perfect Strangers Balki Bartokomous a former shepherd from the fictional Greek island of Mypos, “Well, of course not; don’t be ridiculous!“
Lauro also added that West Virginia “reflects the characteristics of the American people, it’s up to the judge. I think West Virginia would be an excellent venue to try this case”
If Lauro’s innuendo that “the characteristics of the American people” are that they are white. Then West Virginia is the place to be. The 2020 U.S. Census Bureau estimates that West Virginia is 93% White. America as a whole, in the latest Census data, was at only 59.3% non-Hispanic White. While Washington D.C. is at 46.2%. However, that is not the argument. Lauro claims that it is “much more diverse” than the District of Columbia. Which is another false narrative pushed by the Trump team.
According to the 2020 Census Bureau’s data West Virginia ranked 49th out of 50 states in Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the United States. https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/interactive/racial-and-ethnic-diversity-in-the-united-states-2010-and-2020-census.html
Although Washington D.C. isn’t a state (Btw the Dakota’s having 4 senators and Washington D.C. has 0, With comparable population numbers is ridiculous…but that’s not what we are here for…) yet it was ranked on that same list as the 5th most diverse place to live in America.
Once again Donald Trump and his lawyers. Are lying to the American voters. To shift the political narrative away from his legal troubles. Last time I checked we all watched live as Trump “summoned the mob” to Washington D.C. Where the alleged crimes he committed took place. One of the most diverse places in this country. That should and will, be the venue where Trump faces trial for his indictments. If all things are considered equal. In front of the diverse people of D.C. who will make up the jury of his peers.
Achieving only 5% of support in the Nation’s Capital during the last election. Must have Trump lawyers shaking in their Ferragamo’s. For those of us, seeking justice for the crimes committed against our democracy. Our response will more likely resemble an attempt at Balki’s iconic “Dance of Joy”.
