"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.”

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.

Ah yes, the legendary legal proceedings of the Nazis.

Nastybutler,

Well there were the Neurenburg trials, but that was at the end of their Naziing

starrox,

Forgive my pedantery: It’s “Nuremburg” in English, “Nürnburg” in German.

sturmblast,

I really wish we didn’t give these people press

starrox,

I honestly disagree with that statement. The sane people left need to know what the insane are planning and capable of. I’d rather be aware that the Nazis are coming for me than just be overrun and silenced.

There is a proverbial saying in German (I am from Austria - then-export-country of Hitler) which is “Wehret den Anfängen”, which translates to “Ward off the beginnings”. And I fully believe that is what a decent society should do when it comes to Nazis. And the press is needed for that.

JustZ,

I agree with each of you.

keeb420,

Cool do some terrorism. The us could use more Sherman neckties.

xantoxis,

He’s already being prosecuted. Pull out the gun or shut the fuck up, pissbaby

Femcowboy,

Please I want you hicks to take on the federal government. Please do it would be so funny. Like whatchu gonna do to the Abrams tank when it rolls over your trailer Tucker?

    Both of whom are orders of magnitude tougher than most Americans, especially Bubba in his rascal

    potoo22,

    I think Florida man might be on par with them. Possibly better if he’s on meth.

    Although, similarly funded by our adversaries. Go figure.

    AngryCommieKender,

    Seriously. They showed their best on Jan 6, and that group wouldn’t have stood a chance against a normal police response, much less the National Guard.

    PostmodernPythia,

    To be fair, they knew the territory better than the US did. Which is probably not the case here.

    spider,

    Monkey see, monkey do.

    morphballganon,

    Tell me you don’t know what Nazism is without telling me you don’t know what Nazism is

    AngryCommieKender,

    He may know. He’s counting on the last 80 years of conservative word twisting to cause the base to be unaware of what many different terms mean.

    CavalierBob,

    It’s always projection on their part. Holding people accountable for their actions is “Nazism”. 🙄

    matchphoenix,

    Whataboutism is like a religion to these people, it’s all they know.
