Always finding a pos like you, hey?Pro-Trump positions
[edit]In March 2023, Bailey condemned a grand jury in New York after it indicted Donald Trump on charges of falsifying business records, arising from his company's payment of hush money to a pornographic film star.[32] Bailey, along with other Missouri Republicans, blamed George Soros for the grand jury decision; Jewish leaders in Missouri criticized these statements for echoing antisemitic tropes.[33]
As attorney general, Bailey has appeared on shows hosted by Jenna Ellis, a former lawyer to Donald Trump, who has been indicted on felony charges for conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election.[1] The Kansas City Star criticized Bailey’s decision to appear on the podcast, writing that it was "remarkable" that "Missouri's chief legal officer, a role that at times involves prosecuting criminal cases, is appearing with an individual accused of committing a felony to advance a conspiracy to overturn a presidential election in another state."[1]
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch maintains The Bailey Tally, "[a] running count of the many instances in which Missouri's official lawyer has abused the legal process, refused to do his job and/or engaged in blatant conflicts of interest, all in service to an extremist right-wing agenda."[41]
