Andy Roddick: "I’ve voted both ways"
Andy Roddick clashed with Donald Trump's National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt as she appeared on Fox News to talk about the verdict.
Leavitt alleged that the verdict was rigged against Trump. She said that the case was brought in a Democrat stronghold and added that if they can do it to a former president, they can do it to anybody.
"They brought it here in Manhattan, a Democrat jurisdiction that they know voted for Biden 80-20 in the last election. If they can do this to President Trump, they can do it to anyone," Leavitt said.
To this, Roddick replied that he would not come under fire because he hadn't committed any crime.
"Not me. Mostly cause I don’t commit crimes," Roddick replied.
