Trump stands by comments about wrongly convicted 'Central Park Five'

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday stood by claims he made about five men who were wrongly convicted for the brutal rape of a female jogger in New York City’s Central Park 30 years ago.

The attack made national headlines in 1989 as a sign that crime in the city had spiraled out of control. The victim in the case, a 28-year-old investment banker, nearly died from the incident and was left with no memory of it. “You have people on both sides of that. They admitted their guilt. If you look at Linda Fairstein and if you look at some of the prosecutors, they think that the city should never have settled that case. So we’ll leave it at that,” he said, referring to one of the prosecutors in the case.

NO MATTER HOW WRONG THIS GUY IS HE STILL THINKS HE IS RIGHT, THERE IS ALLSO NO SUCH THING AS CLIMATE CHANGE!!

Trump will verbally abuse, threaten, terrorize, or charge any innocent person, group, or institution, if only he can distract for one minute from his historic level of corruption. His favorite tactic is to accuse them of his own crimes, and promise prison.

Racist git.

Sadly Trump's true followers will accept what he says about the Central Park Five.

Dullard is obviously not acquainted with the word 'coerced'.

Its like he aspires to be a worse person every day.

Does that mean realDonaldTrump wants to execute all his treasonous friends that pled guilty to working with foreign governments? noPardons

This is such a tired and trite take. NYPD announced a slam dunk case, everybody was casually calling for the 5 to be punished harshly, including capital punishment.

He blew his chance to appear human.

That works for his fans

US So at what point will trump’s words matter? If he’s willing to hold some teenagers to a coerced admission of guilt, when will a full grown adult who has admitted sexual predation, assault, tax and election fraud and collusion with a be held accountable?

Remember, this is the guy who said 'torture works', so we shouldn't be surprised about this.

Someone needs to sit DT down and make him watch at least the 1st episode of WhenTheySeeUs.

Shocking - he should be impeached for that

Doesn't understand 'exonorated.'

They are innocent! This is not hard realDonaldTrump...unless you are a damn racist! 😡😡😡

God help Murica

That never happened. Why don't you mention that in your tweet?

So did Flynn. And some of your others convicted friends. I guess there will be no pardon for them !!

Where's the lie

Reuters they are now known as Exonerated 5! We have their backs! Please tweet they were wrongly convicted and forced into a confession of guilt. Don't label them as the Central Park 5! They are innocent!

Wrongly convicted for this crime but most of these people were criminals and commit crimes.... I have zero sympathy

The man sticks by his convictions. Unless Barron Trump tells us otherwise, he's just as guilty just as bad as his dad.

An rich, old, white man refusing to admit he’s wrong is nothing new. Thanks god he isn’t anybody important.

Pig

I’m waiting for the day when we abandon journalistic elegance and ask point blank. McDonald “why are you such a racist”

Again he lies. When does it stop? GOP

He thinks they should still be executed

'I'm automatically attracted to beautiful [women]—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.'

So small he can't even admit he made a huge obvious mistake.

The Mango Mussolini to delusional to comprehend

He’ll never admit his own

But he will pardon convicted war criminals that murdered unarmed women & children.

Trump supports the Gestapo, they admitted their guilt!

He is so shitty

What sort of 'Christian' votes for this animal?

'and they're black.' Trump's Inner Monologue?

They were exonerated, Reuters. For the love of god

Wow, I did Na-zi this coming. 🙄
