As Donald Trump speaks to the Fraternal Order of Police roundtable in North Carolina Friday after the group endorsed him, one reporter noted that they made history by endorsing a criminal.
Trump was found guilty by a New York jury on 34 felony counts of business fraud.
"Here it is: Fraternal Order of Police just endorsed a criminal. History made," wrote Huffington Post reporter S.V. Dáte.
"Yep. And the Fraternal Order of Police just endorsed someone who also sent people to attack the police on January 6th," agreed former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-FL).

NBC News reporter Ryan Reilly also pointed out, "The Fraternal Order of Police has endorsed Donald Trump, who has repeatedly said he would pardon criminals convicted in a violent riot that injured dozens upon dozens of police officers and resulted in officers' deaths."
Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone revealed in 2021 that after the attack on him and other officers, the FOP didn't contact him.
"I finally picked up the phone and called the president of the national FOP, Patrick Yoes and, and described to him the displeasure I felt that there was no outreach being done not only to myself but to other officers," said Fanone in an interview with CNN. "And I asked him to do a few things to make up for that lack of support, and he was unwilling to do any of them. I asked him to publicly denounce the 21 house Republicans that voted against the gold medal bill."
He also asked the FOP to shut down Rep. Paul Gosar's (R-AZ) attacks on officers, whom he said were involved in the shooting death of Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt.
The Justice Department's investigation into the shooting declared it justified.
