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.”

    What I would recommend is that you actually look into any of the things you believe becuase you will find you have been lied to.

      Friend, I think with the facts and transparency out in the world, you’d be better at critical thinking. If someone is making fresh threats to back up their previous attempts and failures at something, it’s a real threat.

      You’re backing a wannabe dictator, dipshit. Get with the real world, and stop living in the one crafted by poorman’s liar and failure at everything, Donald Trump. The fact the guy couldn’t keep SIX CASINOS from going under should tell you something.
