Hated ‘due process’ in ’89, wanted us executed

A MEMBER of the Central Park Five on Sunday blasted President Trump for hypocrisy after he demanded “due process,” apparently for powerful men accused of domestic abuse and sexual misconduct.

Yusef Salaam, who was wrongfully convicted of raping and beating a jogger, said the President acted out of “his own affluenza” to protect White House staffer Rob Porter, who has been accused of domestic abuse by two ex-wives and resigned his post Wednesday as a result.

Salaam said then-New York businessman Trump failed to give him the same courtesy in 1989, when he paid for a full-page ad calling for the death penalty for the five teens who were at that point only accused in the Manhattan attack.

“The Central Park Five, their families,” Salaam said in an MSNBC interview. “We were not able to move on with our lives. Our lives were completely destroyed and devastated. “Any kind of dream or idea or goal that we had in life was quickly erased by this accusation,” he said.

The five black and Latino teens — now middleaged men — were exonerated in 2002 after the real attacker confessed to the brutal sex assault. Salaam applauded his friend Raymond Santana, another member of the Central Park Five, for similarly targeting Trump on Saturday. “You should have spoke like that back in 1989,” Santana wrote.
