A Republican state senator has called for “civil war” if Donald Trump loses the presidential election in November.
George Lang, an Ohio politician, made the comment as he introduced JD Vance at his first solo campaign event since becoming Trump’s running mate.
After taking to the stage fist-raised and shouting Trump’s post-shooting battle cry “Fight! Fight!”, Mr Lang warned of an existential threat facing Americans. He declared in front of a large, heated crowd in Ohio: “We are in the fight for the soul of our nation… for our kids, for our grandkids, it is a fight we can never imagine.
“I believe wholeheartedly, Donald Trump and Butler County’s JD Vance are the last chance to save our country. Politically, I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country.”
Bring it the fuck on. Don’t mistake a distaste for violence for an unwillingness to fight would-be oppressors.
It’s so funny that these people will then turn around and deny all of the violence and unrest brought about by MAGA.
Charlottesville, January 6th, the attack on Paul Pelosi, the attempted kidnapping, torture and execution of Gretchen Whitmer, I could go on. They even wrote 900 pages on how they want to dismantle decades of progress in the US.
They then have the audacity to say that it’s the democrats who need to “turn down the rhetoric” and stop trying to take away their rights?
It’s maddening.
I’ll never forget the Florida Republican that rammed his car into a Prius and shot at the driver, learning your statement the hard way.
