Newsmax host Carl Higbie went on a tirade on Friday after former President Donald Trump was convicted by a Manhattan jury the day before.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to cover up extramarital affairs. Trump was concerned the affairs would come to light and harm his presidential aspirations. The Republican freakout has been swift if not predictable. Despite their outrage and indignation, some conservatives insist that being a convicted felon will help Trump’s chances of returning to the White House in November’s election.
During Friday’s edition of Frontline on Newsmax, Higbie demanded congressional Republicans drop everything and go after those involved in Trump’s prosecution.
I’d like to remind that News Max host that the city that convicted Donald Trump murders 400 people each year with guns.
Blue cities ain’t trying to pass gun regulations because they’re afraid of the idea of guns. They’re trying to pass gun laws because they have a fuck ton of guns.
Get in there and subpoena everyone. This judge, his daughter, everyone affiliated with anything ever, ever! I don’t care if we stop building bridges and highways and stop funding our government. You fight fire with fire. Otherwise, these Marxists are going to keep doing this.
You're advocating against the rule of law and making threatening remarks towards millions of Americans. Like a terrorist. That's what a terrorist does. Promote violence without technically saying you promote violence why don't you.
You have never met America.
Have you? You wish harm on your country and her people. For god sakes your lord and savior man didn't even win the popular vote when he was actually elected. What the hell are you smoking?
“And when he does, I’m gonna sit back, I’m gonna drink a beer, I’m gonna smoke a cigar the size of Cuba and laugh because they earned this one,” he stated.
That’s cute. I know lots of democrats who love their guns just as much. The difference is we know when to use them and how to properly store them so our kids don’t get mad at their classmates and you know, make mistakes that cost themselves and their classmates the rest of their lives
🤷🏻♂️
Stay mad and ignorant tho. It’s easier on the rest of us to deal with you when you’re blinded by rage and have had the only solid footing you have on this world knocked out beneath you.
Even if they do have 90% of the guns, they still only own about 30% of the trigger fingers. A guy with a garage full of guns can only shoot one at a time.
Let's take a step back from that provocation and look at the bigger picture.
This is intended to create division and make money (like Frank Reynolds would).
Neighbours shooting neighbours or rural folks shooting city people (or the other way around), that won't lead to any takeover or to any surrendering of power on a larger scale.
That's just terrorism and could (at most) cause chaos and terror.
If there actually was domestic violence on a larger scale, it would come down to: who controls the military or which part of the military is on which side.
I would avoid meaningless skirmishes e.g. in a suburb of Seattle.
I'm not saying succumb to bullies, but whatever you do, be smart about it.
You've got 90% of the guns? Correction..you have 90% of the civilian guns. The military, who work for the legal government have far more than you do, as well as drones, bombs and tanks. So fuck off with your "We have 90% of the guns" bullshit.
Sup, dork - liberal with a bunch of guns here. I’ve been training since Duck Hunt and can shoot the cap off a trans label Budweiser from 100 yards with a .22.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking Trumpers have a monopoly on gun powder.
As I've been saying, the people on the political left need to get strapped, they need to train, and they need to organize. Laws and cops aren't going to protect you, esp. when most cops are on the side of Trump. All of the laws trying to ban guns and prevent most citizens from owning them are going to do is make it ever easier for the boot of the authoritarians to crush you.
You need to take that power back, and remind the police that they only get to enforce laws by the consent of the people.
Oh I don’t have any guns I guess. They can come test this theory on me and my friends, they might be sad at the outcome, well for a couple seconds before they succumb to the darkness.
Just a reminder that the Nazi party regularly said shit like this leading up to the Holocaust. The idea was to make it seem like, to the public, that they have been regularly giving warnings to and negotiating with Jewish people about their need to relocate out of Germany and give up their property, and that the refusal to cooperate was going to force Germany to use violence.
It was all propaganda. The intent from the beginning was to commit violence.
All of the people Republicans are mad out right now - queer people, educators, health care professionals, and social workers to name a few - are all being given "warnings", with increasingly violent rhetoric attach, priming their base to eventually resort to violence when those targets "refuse to cooperate". Really what they mean is "Never do anything that disagrees with our far right agenda, or we will murder you".
The Fascists want a civil war. In their fantasy it plays out like The Purge where the big strong patriots destroy all the scary black bloc antifa terrorists and usher in a new era. The reality is that it would just result in a domestic crisis that on top of traumatizing the general public, would destabilize the country enough to permanently destroy our place in the world as a superpower.
This felon doesn't have any capacity for contrition. He genuinely believes he is above the law. It's unfathomable to him that he is being held to account.
There is no doubt in my mind that were he not a former president, a judge would lock him up. Contrition is an important component of the legal system. Felon's need to understand that their behavior is unacceptable.
I wonder if a judge could make him bend the knee. "Acknowledge your wrong doing and you don't need to go to jail."
And so... the traction begins. This is not just a freakout - this is going to supply them with a fake "victimhood" narrative they couldn't have managed by themselves and that will escalate beyond November.
I hope the liberals have a plan for what's going to happen when the nazis and their pig protectors hit the streets again - or, at least, a better plan than, "let's heckle antifa from the sidelines like we did in 2016!"
So he's saying that because a criminal was tried and convicted for his crimes, they somehow have to take action to defend said criminal even though said criminal most definitely did a whole bunch of crime that he hasn't even been tried for yet.
Lol joke's on you asshole, recently more people raised in the suburbs and country have moved to cities, and more minorities and leftists own guns. It's not 1980 anymore, good luck.
When the purges in Russia, China, and N. Korea were going on, the only way to survive was to become the biggest ass-kisser. Imagine how they felt. Does that feel familiar, MAGA?
Liz Cheney has you pegged for what you have let yourself become.
