Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner posted a video on social media suggesting that President Donald Trump could be a "35-time felon" for proposing to give $5,000 dividend checks to citizens if Republicans maintain control in the midterms. Accompanied by the hashtag FAFO (f*** around, find out), Krasner’s video shows him watching Trump’s proposal and flipping through Pennsylvania’s crimes code, insinuating that such an offer constitutes bribery under state law. This incident follows a series of controversial statements from Krasner about Trump and comes as Philadelphia faces significant criminal justice issues including high-profile murders.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner cannot stop obsessing over President Donald Trump.
asserted
Krasner → stop → Trump
Less than three weeks after suggesting the White House ballroom would be blown up, the City of Brotherly Love’s top prosecutor’s unhinged infatuation with the president continued as Krasner filmed another video critical of Trump, this time suggesting in a social media post that the president’s offer of a $5,000 dividend check was felonious.
asserted
offer → suggest → check
The accusation comes at a particularly interesting time for Krasner, who has come under fire in recent months by a federal judge and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for his conduct as district attorney.
asserted
who → come → attorney
Krasner’s post was also accompanied by the hashtag FAFO, an acronym meaning “f*** around, find out.”
asserted
post → accompany → hashtag
As a native Philadelphian, I can unequivocally say that Krasner’s behavior is embarrassing.
asserted
behavior → say → Philadelphian
Last week, after Trump proposed that he would authorize the distribution of $5,000 dividend checks to all American citizens if the Republicans were to maintain control of Congress in November’s midterm elections.
asserted
Republicans → propose → elections
There have been many reactions toward the president’s proposal, but none as arguably unhinged as that of Krasner, who filmed a video of himself watching Trump’s speech offering the dividend checks, then grabbing a book titled Crimes Code of Pennsylvania and subsequently insinuating Trump’s offer would make him “guilty of a felony.”
asserted
him → film → felony
The phrase “35 time felon?” appears — albeit in an embarrassingly grammatically incorrect fashion as a hyphen was wrongly omitted between the words “35” and “time” — after video of Trump’s proposal is shown.
asserted
video → appear → proposal
It is the latest in a long list of extremely odd behavior by the Philadelphia district attorney, who has an extensive history in holding press conferences, making social media posts, or filming videos of himself criticizing the president, going so far as to call him such disparaging names as criminal, fascist, and Nazi, among other insults.
asserted
who → have → insults
Krasner’s latest propagandist performance featured him sitting in an office setting, watching Trump on a cellphone as “Flight of the Bumblebee” played in the background.
asserted
Flight → feature → background
The video then cuts to an image reading “Pennsylvania Statutes Title 25,” which details “bribery at elections,” the video then cuts to a sequence of underlined sentence which reads “promise or offer to give any gift or reward in money, with intent to induce him to vote for any particular candidate or candidates at any primary or election; shall be guilty of a felony.”
asserted
promise → cut → felony
Keep in mind, in addition to Krasner’s own legal troubles, Philadelphia has been mired in criminal justice controversy all summer after a number of high-profile murder cases in recent months, including the killings of Penn State University student Billy Schmidt and Anshul Kuncha, a pizza delivery driver who was lured to a vacant residence and murdered by a 14-year-old.
asserted
who → keep → old
The city has also been plagued with rampant violence stemming from so-called “teen takeovers.”
asserted
city → plague → takeovers
And yet, Philadelphia’s radical, left-wing, Soros-funded district attorney is spending his time making trolling videos criticizing the president of the United States and teasing future legal actions being taken against him.
asserted
attorney → fund → him
But this is what liberals, Democrats, socialists, and communists do in the nation’s biggest cities.
asserted
liberals → do → cities
They do not prioritize the welfare of citizens or the protection of innocent people from harm.
asserted
They → prioritize → harm
They are more concerned with living out their Game of Thrones-style fantasies and engaging in political tribalism to fulfill their insatiable thirst for political power.
asserted
They → live → power
Krasner has limited, if any, legal authority to take action against Trump, and even if he did, there are more — much, much, much more — pressing matters in the city that fall squarely within his job description and duties.
asserted
that → have → description
Perhaps if the Soros-funded prosecutor was more concerned with putting the city’s criminals who harm and kill Philadelphians behind bars instead of acting like a spoiled petulant child with a vendetta, Schmidt, Kuncha, and countless others would still be alive, innocent Philadelphians would not be getting attacked by mobs of violent adolescents, and 14-year old children would not be creating evil schemes to murder unsuspecting pizza delivery drivers.
And, for the FAFO Krasner enjoys doing so much in the last two years, it should be noted that in every instance Krasner has taunted Trump with it, there have been exactly zero instances of “finding out” from Trump’s supposed “f***ing” around.
asserted
Krasner → fund → f***ing
