"I don't want to have to draw my rifle": Georgia GOPer warns of "civil war" if Trump is prosecuted

Republican Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore on Tuesday told “War Room” host Steve Bannon that he plans to push the legislature to defund Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis’ prosecution of former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants, arguing that Trump’s prosecution threatens to ignite a “civil war.” Moore complained that indicted fellow state Sen. Shawn Still is going to have to spend “a million dollars” to defend himself in the case. “It’s just like Nazi Germany,” Moore claimed. “I mean, they want to call us the Nazis and their actions are Nazism.”

HelixDab2,

Republicans in Georgia aren’t the only ones with rifles.

Trust me.

Last time the Georgia fascists met an armed contingent–at Stone Mountain, during the BLM protests–they were the ones that backed down, not antifa.

cmbabul,

And last time Atlanta wasn’t even fighting back from within

_Sc00ter,

Lol right? These are the same people that complain about gun violence in places they don’t live, yet act like they’re tough because they have a gun? I bet most are way too afraid to actually use it

PostmodernPythia,

I mean, if I stay in the subway, I should be safe from them, right? 😛

givesomefucks,

Moore’s remarks came as Georgia GOP Senate leaders seek to find a way to punish Willis for bringing charges against Trump. "I told one senator… we’ve got to put our heads together and figure this out. We need to be taking action right now.

Pretty sure they just admitted obstruction of justice and some conspiracy charges…

Blackmist,

The civil war never ended. You just had a long ceasefire.

Kirkkh,

My favorite part of the Ken Burns civil war doc was hearing historians talk about how the north won with a tiny paltry effort.

Chunk,

I don’t think that’s true. It was the bloodiest war in US history. The North probably wasn’t going to lose, they had too much going for them, but the insurrectionists weren’t a rambunctious group of terrorists. They had a trained and equipped army and the officer corp on both sides were equally well trained. If the British had intervened, as the South was petitioning them to do, we would have had an enormous problem on our hands. Lincoln declaring emancipation was, in part, meant to appeal to anti slavery activists in Parliament, whom at this point had significant political clout in the empire.

The idea that the North sat around and sipped coffee while their industrial and financial bases smashed the south is too simple.

If this dillweed draws his rifle good enough, maybe poppa trump will hang it on the fridge. A man can dream.

arcrust,

Anyone who says “I don’t want to have to draw my rifle”, wants to draw their rifle.

Also, draw is a weird word in this context right? Draw your pistol, sure. But a rifle. I guess you can have a sling holster and technically would be “drawing” it.

MossBear,

Maybe they’re going to sketch it, like with a pencil.

PlumberOfDeath,

If you want to disarm this guy all you have to do is take his pencil.

ToastedPlanet,

Replace ever instance of civil war with domestic terrorism and I think we get a much more accurate picture about what these people mean. People with assault rifles going to schools, grocery stores, protests and any place that is crowded. Even if this chuckle head doesn’t do anything, he’s trying to signal to people who he hopes will shoot people when Trump is convicted. We are already experiencing domestic terrorism now, but it can always get worse.

CaptainAlcohol,

On stochastic terrorism, Wikipedia:

The meanings of the words composing the term stochastic terrorism help to clarify its definition. “Stochastic” is an adjective which describes something that is random, or involves chance or probability (is probabilistic).[3][4] While definitions of terrorism vary, this one contains the common and important elements: "the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives.[5] Stochastic terrorism, then, would be random or probabilistic terrorism.

This terrorist scenario is stochastic because with the public demonization of a target, a terrorist act against the target is not certain but is made more likely. It is also stochastic because the identity of the terrorist and the timing and means of the attack cannot be predicted.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer,

We need to be taking action right now. Because if we don’t, our constituencies are gonna be fighting it in the streets.

Why would a liberal start a fight over this? Huh Colton?

some_guy,

“They want to call us the Nazis…”

No. I have to call you nazis because that’s what half of you are.

Case,

If a Nazi sits down at a table with three people what do you have?

Four Nazis.

cogneato,

“stop the count” is the only strategy they have

justastranger,

Hey it worked for Bush

Pratai,

I gotta say, I absolutely love watching all these people destroy their lives in defense of that buffoon. Especially knowing that as far as trump is concerned, these clowns are expendable pawns.

It’s fucking hilarious.

All these little Kim Jong Wannabes, rattling their sabers and threatening war if they aren’t appeased.

toiletobserver,

Also sounds like China’s final warnings

ZzyzxRoad,

Of course the name of his show is “war room,” jfc. All conservatives do is fantasize about violence.

sndmn,

They also think about sex with children an awful lot.

Saneless,

It goes back to their religion too. Their idol murdered millions of people, including children, that disagreed with him. To a conservative “Christian” this is peak

reverendsteveii,

Do it or shut up you fucking coward.

RojoSanIchiban,

Colton Moore is the kind of incel invertebrate that would shoot black people in a Dollar General.

Treczoks,

Now that he has publicly announced that he plans to use his firearms for illegal, seditious purposes, can someone please take his guns and weapon permits away?

By this kind of threat, he has show that he is not fit to own a potentially lethal weapon.
