In a political career defined by grotesque statements, this president’s horrifying, illegal, and genocidal threat this morning is among the most dangerous and appalling.
You can’t shout “fire” in a crowded theater and a president cannot be allowed to threaten genocide with the United States military. Threats of war crimes and disregard for human life must be met with accountability under the law.
Trump must go—and Republicans, whether in the Cabinet or Congress, must join Democrats in using any and all constitutional powers at our collective disposal to end this illegal war and take the gun out of this madman’s hands.
This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted.
To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.
Instead of thanking President Trump and his team for fighting violent crime in D.C., city liberals have decided they’d rather get on the wrong side of another 80/20 issue and have an aneurysm about it.
Will they ever learn?
Today, I convened a Unified Readiness Briefing with state and local public safety officials, Virginia National Guard, and private sector partners.
We are working proactively to keep Virginia safe. Because responsible leadership requires vigilance, coordination, and preparation.
@GeorgePapa19 Also, nobody bitched more about a “stolen election” than Hillary and she was never arrested. She had way worse crimes she was never arrested for either.
