Social Media Isn't Moved By Jenna Ellis' Tears In Her Guilty Statement

"She can cry all she wants, but shes definitely not a victim," one critic said of the sobbing former Trump attorney who took a plea deal in the election conspiracy case.

Social media isn’t buying Jenna Ellis ’ sob story. (Watch the video below.)

The former lawyer for Donald Trump on Tuesday reached a plea deal  for probation in the Georgia election-conspiracy case and wept. Her tearful statement to the court followed her guilty plea to aiding and abetting false statements in the scheme to overturn Joe Biden ’s Georgia victory in the 2020 presidential election.

In peddling Trump’s election-fraud lies often with Rudy Giuliani, the disgraced lawyer said through sniffles and a cracked voice that she “relied” on more experienced colleagues to provide accurate information without checking herself. “I failed to do my due diligence,” she said.

“If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Trump in these post-election challenges,” she said while becoming the third Georgia accomplice who’s a lawyer to cop a plea deal in a matter of days.

Viewers of her statement shared something akin to the world’s smallest violin, accused her of “crocodile tears” and harkened back to her “smug” police photo.

“Wasn’t too sad during the mugshot,” one user on X wrote.
