Even the far-left president of Mexico thinks that the Trump indictment constitutes election interference.

During a news conference on Wednesday President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (who is known as AMLO) said that “Supposedly legal issues should not be used for electoral, political purposes. That’s why I don’t agree with what they are doing to ex-President Trump…It should be the people who decide.,” Reuters reported.

He also said that “I do not know if crimes were committed, it’s not my place.” He added that “Don’t make up crimes to affect adversaries.”

“López Obrador went on to explain the actions taken by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg were ‘the degradation of due respect for the law,’ according to Fox News.

AMLO previously reportedly asserted that Trump’s arrest was “so that his name doesn’t appear on the ballot” and that “And this is completely anti-democratic… Why not allow the people to decide?”

“I say this because I, too, have suffered from the fabrication of a crime when they didn’t want me to run,” he recalled.

El Salvador president Nayib Bukele also weighed in on the hypocrisy:

“Think what you want about former President Trump and the reasons he’s being indicted. But just imagine if this happened in any other country, where a government arrested the main opposition candidate. The United States ability to use ‘democracy’ as foreign policy is gone,” he wrote on Twitter.

Parenthetically, the law-and-order president of the Central American country has made headlines and angered liberals by opening a mega or super-max prison to house thousands of what the New York Post described as “hardcore gangbangers.”

According to a translation, Bukele’s Twitter message on February 24 explained that “Today at dawn, in a single operation, we transferred the first 2,000 gang members to the Center for the Confinement of Terrorism (CECOT). This will be their new house, where they will live for decades, mixed up, unable to do any more harm to the population.”

Trump and AMLO

Despite their ideological differences, Trump and AMLO — who is no friend of the GOP — got along well during the former’s presidency, including implementing a remain-in-Mexico process for illegal migrants, a policy that the open-borders Biden administration abandoned.

Incidentally, despite a country fraught with political corruption and narco-terrorism, Mexico requires a photo ID to vote.

AMLO was one of the few world leaders who didn’t rush to congratulate Joe Biden on the outcome of the 2020 election. Citing vote fraud that he claimed thwarted him in 2006 and 2012, AMLO said that he would wait until the legal process got sorted out.

The Associated Press claimed that “AMLO had fewer public disagreements with Trump than with current President Joe Biden. Analysts say Trump and López Obrador share an essentially transactional view of politics, in which making a deal and sticking to it is highly valued.”

Two-Tier Justice and Selective Enforcement

Again calling attention to a double standard in the weaponized legal system, New York Post reporter Miranda Devine pointed out the following:

The week that Donald Trump was arrested in New York, less than a mile away from the courthouse, Hunter Biden was all smiles as he checked in on his latest art exhibition in Soho…The first son seemed untroubled by the ongoing investigations into the millions he was paid by China in return for leveraging the power of his father’s vice presidency around the world…If ever you wanted proof of a dual system of justice, merry, privileged Hunter is its ultimate embodiment…

Yes, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s sham indictment of Trump is a political gift to Joe Biden, whose bid for a second term rightly should be a dead duck in 2024, given his disastrous reign, advancing decrepitude, and growing family corruption scandals.

But everything — from Chinese spy balloons and mishandled classified documents to the border and debt crises — is buried under an avalanche of Trump derangement pumped out 24/7 by the media.

With at least another three political witch hunts being cooked up by partisan prosecutors around the country, it’s clear that “Get Trump” is the Democrats’ 2024 campaign strategy.

We are watching in real time as [Democrats] interfere with another election — by trying to take out the GOP front-runner with flimsy allegations that he hid hush money to a porn star…

The irony of Bragg’s case is that Democrats are interfering with the 2024 election with allegations that Trump interfered with the 2016 election…Everyone knows the Trump indictment is a joke that never should have made it to court…

It’s also another example of how Dems have elevated projection to a high art from.

As Devine implied, those who often bemoan election interference are engaging in election interference in the same way that, for example, self-styled protectors of democracy are out to destroy democracy or privileged elites claim victim status, or when misinformers complain about misinformation.

Fentanyl Crisis

Parenthetically, the blame-shifting AMLO reportedly wrote to President XI of China asking the CCP leader for helping to stem the fentanyl crisis. AMLO has previously blamed the epidemic on the fragmenting American family.

From the Associated Press:

Mexico’s president asked his Chinese counterpart for help Tuesday in halting chemicals from China used by Mexican drug dealers to illegally produce fentanyl, while also complaining of “rude” U.S. pressure to curb the drug trade…

López Obrador complained about calls in the United States to designate Mexican drug gangs as terrorist organizations…Only after several paragraphs of venting, López Obrador brings up China’s exports of fentanyl precursors, and asked him to help stop shipments of chemicals that Mexican cartels import from China…López Obrador has angrily denied that fentanyl is produced in Mexico. However, his own administration has acknowledged finding dozens of labs where it is produced, mainly in the northern state of Sinaloa.

Most illegal fentanyl is pressed by Mexican cartels into counterfeit pills made to look like other medications like Xanax, oxycodone or Percocet, or mixed into other drugs, including heroin and cocaine. Many people who die of overdoses in the United States do not know they are taking fentanyl…
