Former President Donald Trump was arrested on Tuesday. Minutes later, after he was escorted out of the courtroom, controversial Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted, "You can't even make up how corrupt this WITCH HUNT is!' and linked to the fake news site Gateway Pundit that includes a photo of New York Judge Juan Manuel Merchan's daughter, who once worked for Kamala Harris's campaign.

Donald Trump Jr. did the same thing, except he linked to Breitbart.

Eric Trump did the same thing too, linking to the Gateway Pundit. This appears to be a coordinated effort, and it's dangerous.

And this comes after the judge expressed concern over the one-term twice-impeached indicted former President's rhetoric.

And yet, Eric Trump is still attacking District Attorney Alvin Bragg:

This doesn't make Trump look better. I don't think they thought this out. Others agree.
