“Preach, Sister”: 𝕏 Users Remind Letitia James of Her Own Words, and They Bite

(WND News Center)β€”Letitia James, the New York attorney general whose vast civil fraud case against President Donald Trump collapsed in an appeals court decision that her punishment of $500 million was unconstitutional, was herself indicted on mortgage fraud this week.

And she had, likely injudiciously, commented on social media about her agenda against Trump, who she promised to β€œget” when she was campaigning for office.

She had said, β€œWhen powerful people cheat to get better loans, it comes at the expense of hardworking people. Everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank to get a mortgage, and if they did, our government would throw the book at them. There simply cannot be different rules for different people.”

That was in February 2024 when she was attacking Trump on a regular basis on social media.

But now she’s indicted on allegations she falsely claimed a home she bought in Virginia was for her personal residence, in order to obtain a better mortgage interest rate, but then she leased it as a rental, confirming both claims in government records.

Online, people were lined up to remind her of her comments, which have β€œaged like milk,” according to Kelly Currie.

β€œPreach, sister,” contributed Mike Davis of the Article 3 Project.

And the Federalist’s Sean Davis cited her words, β€œWhen powerful people cheat to get better loans.”

Commentator and political analyst Brit Hume said, β€œWorth remembering.”

And commenter Greg Price, added, β€œSo true.”

State Freedom Caucus leader Adam Morgan noted, β€œCouldn’t have said it better myself.”

And Red State contributor Bonchie said, β€œSo true, queen.”

One β€œTrump appointee” turned sarcastic, with, β€œI’ll take β€˜Famous Letitia Quotes’ for $300 please.’”

And there were those to double down on the indictment’s claims.
