Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) were among those in the audience to support Donald Trump on Thursday — and the Colorado Republican was reportedly staring daggers at the former president's critics.
Photos were taken of the lawmakers positioned directly behind the ex-president as his trial began and Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, continued his testimony.
Also inside court was outspoken Trump enemy and lawyer George Conway, who on Wednesday delivered a message directly to Trump from MSNBC, calling him a "wuss" and saying he is too "scared" to testify and defend himself.
The last time Conway, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, was in the courtroom, he said Trump scowled at him, and he beamed with a grin for his ex-wife, Trump's ex-adviser Kellyanne Conway's, former boss.
On Thursday, MSNBC's Dasha Burns reported that, "Gaetz and Boebert have been staring down Conway as we prepare for part two of the cross-examination of Michael Cohen."
Boebert, still hasn't lived down her fondling incident during a Denver production of Beetlejuice. Her appearance Thursday prompted critics of Boebert to suggest on X that someone remind her of the court etiquette that should be followed in prohibiting sexual behavior.
