It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

“Your microphone works. Do you condemn this?” I asked my Republican colleagues — who say they care about antisemitism — if they condemn Trump pardoning neo-Nazis. Unfortunately, the party of “Jewish space lasers” doesn't give a damn about stopping antisemitism.
