Democrats and some Republicans have been furious of President Trump’s recent round of pardons and commuted sentences, but many have also praised the president, on Twitter and elsewhere. One of Trump’s happiest fans right now is none other than Democrat and former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, whose sentence was commuted yesterday as reported previously by Media Right News. Blagojevich received a shortened sentence for the charge of trying to sell former President Obama’s old Senate seat.
He spoke today in a press conference and in other places to praises Trump and slam the ‘haters’ so to speak. The clip below shows him in what appears to be an airport and he says “if you ask me what my party affiliation is, I’m a Trumpocrat”.
Time will tell how loyal he stays to President Trump, but for now, he is giddier than a kid on Christmas morning. See multiple tweets below where he says Democrat’s have been too hard on President Trump.

“I’ve got 10,000 reasons to be thankful to President Trump. I’m obviously thankful to be home, to have my freedom back. To just be able to hold my wife’s hand. But most of all, I’m thankful to you Mr. President, for giving my daughters their father back. Now I wish I could slow down time. For no matter where their life’s journey may lead, they will always take with them the realization, that the kindest gift they’ve ever received in their lives…”
