Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. He is currently <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/08\/29\/politics\/lindsey-graham-fulton-county-subpoena\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">trying to dodge<\/a><\/strong> a deposition by a Grand Jury in Georgia requiring him to testify about his participation in undermining democracy and overturning the election on Trump&#8217;s behalf. And in his spare time he is visiting with Fox News to foment riots&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If there is a prosecution of Donald Trump for mishandling classified information after the Clinton debacle, which you presided over and did a hell of a good job, there will be riots in the streets.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Graham says there will be riots in the streets if Trump is prosecuted <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oE6MyuqjeA\">pic.twitter.com\/oE6MyuqjeA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1564029020995469312?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 28, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Is this a threat? Is a United States senator trying to intimidate the Attorney General and other prosecutors to dissuade them from doing their jobs? Does Lindsey Graham, a former JAG lawyer, think it&#8217;s appropriate to not so subtly insinuate that if authorities go forward with legally justifiable indictments of his political ayatollah that a jihad should be ensue?<\/p>\n<p>What Graham is saying is that Trump&#8217;s cult supporters are violent and can&#8217;t be relied upon to respect the law. He is validating their insurrection on January 6th and predicting that they will engage in similar acts of violence and assaults against police officers and others. And from Graham&#8217;s perverse perspective, all that is necessary for them to resort to civil rampaging is for honest prosecutors to establish that there is sufficient evidence that Trump committed crimes. This is what the so-called <em>&#8220;law and order&#8221;<\/em> party has sunken to.<\/p>\n<p>Graham made this comment to Trey Gowdy, host of Fox News&#8217; <em>&#8220;Sunday Night in America.&#8221;<\/em> Gowdy&#8217;s claim to fame is that he chaired the House committee that conducted the bogus Benghazi hearings. Of course, had no objection to Graham&#8217;s reprehensible remarks. He tacitly approved, then moved on to another subject.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Trump posted Graham&#8217;s remarks on his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54389\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong> without comment. He didn&#8217;t bother to condemn the suggestion of riots or to call for peace. Trump knows that he&#8217;s guilty and has no credible defense. So he is essentially affirming the threat and once again encouraging his supporters to <em>&#8220;be wild.&#8221;<\/em> Trump previously posted a comment that similarly incited violence, <a href=\"https:\/\/thedeskofdonaldtrump.com\/one-of-the-most-egregious-assaults-on-democracy-8272022\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">saying<\/a> that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Raid on my home, Mar-a-Lago, is one of the most egregious assaults on democracy in the history of our Country which is, by the way, going to places, in a very bad way, it has never seen before!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>First of all, there was no discernable <em>&#8220;assault on democracy&#8221;<\/em> involved in the FBI&#8217;s execution of a legally obtained search warrant. But if Trump wants an example of such an assault, he need only recall the January 6th insurrection that he incited, or his relentless and false assertions of the <em>&#8220;Big Lie&#8221;<\/em> that the 2020 election was <em>&#8220;rigged&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;stolen&#8221;<\/em> from him.<\/p>\n<p>As for Trump&#8217;s threat that the nation is <em>&#8220;going to places&#8230;it has never seen before,&#8221;<\/em> he is, sadly, quite correct. But not in the way that he thinks. The threatening rhetoric by Trump, and his flunky Lindsey Graham, is emblematic of the direction that the Republican Party has taken since the advent of the Trump Cult. And Fox News is just as culpable for messages fomenting violence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54213\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News to Trump\u2019s Thugs: Stop Threatening FBI Agents, Threaten AG Merrick Garland Instead<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is now up to Democrats, and other patriots, to remove these traitors from every position of public responsibility.
