Trump warns of ‘bedlam,’ declines to rule out violence after court hearing
Republican polling leader Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened unrest if the criminal charges against him cause him to lose the 2024 election.
“I think they feel this is the way they’re going to try and win, and that’s not the way it goes,” Trump said. “It’ll be bedlam in the country. It’s a very bad thing. …
The former president did not take questions and walked away as a Washington Post reporter asked him to rule out violence by his supporters.
…Over the years, Trump has increasingly defended the riot and embraced people charged in the attack. On Saturday he called them “hostages” and demanded their release.
His repeated evasions of ruling out political violence come amid a rising menace of threats and attacks throughout American politics.
…
Trump has repeatedly threatened to retaliate by prosecuting Biden and his family if he returns to office.
“Joe would be ripe for indictment,” Trump said in a video posted to social media late Monday. “… He has to be careful because that can happen to him also.”
Waitin’ for you, MAGA.
