On Monday, Ohio state Sen. George Lang introduced Donald Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance, at a rally by saying, “I believe wholeheartedly Donald Trump and Butler County’s J.D. Vance are the last chance to save our country politically.” Fair enough.
“I’m afraid if we lose this one,” Lang continued, “it’s going to take a civil war to save the country.”
The rally was held in Vance’s hometown of Middletown, Ohio, at the high school he attended. As for Vance’s speech? He attempted to make a joke about liberals being oversensitive about race.
All joking aside, this isn’t the first time a Trump ally has threatened violence if the majority of Americans don’t comply with the MAGA agenda. Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts recently said, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
In May, ABC News reported that it was able to find 54 cases of violence, threats of violence, and alleged assaults against Americans where Trump’s name was invoked. The 54 cases were linked through both law enforcement and court documents.
And here is my response
I spent two years in a place called Vietnam with an M16 in my hand and I used it damn near everyday for its intended purpose. You assholes want a civil war, bring it the fuck on . . . I now own an AR-15 and a number of other firearms and am quite proficient in their use. I may be an old guy, but I’m ready to meet your punk ass in the street. Name the date, time, place.
And don’t forget: If Trump starts this “stolen election” shit, Joe Biden is still President and he will NOT tell the DC National Guard to stand down as Trump did — Biden likely will unleash not just the DC Guard but also the Regular Army.
