    An elected GOP politician from Ohio is warning that if Donald Trump doesn’t win the 2024 election it will mean “Civil War.” State Sen. George Lang was one of the warm-up speakers Monday at a Trump campaign rally Monday, where vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance spoke solo for the 2024 GOP ticket for the first time.

    Lang — in sharp contrast — used his time at the TRUMP branded podium to warn of violence that could tear America apart. Lang, who represents nearby Hamilton, Ohio, took the stage shouting Trump’s post-shooting battlecry, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” And Lang insisted that America is in a “fight for the soul of our nation” and for “our kids and our grandkids.”

    He then uncorked his views on looming partisan violence. “I believe wholeheartedly that Donald Trump and Butler County’s J.D. Vance are the last chance to save our country, politically,” Lang said. “I’m afraid that if we lose this one, it’s gonna take a civil war to save this country.”

    Lang didn’t stop there, elaborating that “if we come down to a civil war I’m glad we have people like … the Bikers for Trump on our side,” pointing to a group of MAGA motorcycle enthusiasts in the audience. Lang then inveighed against liberals he claimed are “chipping away” at our rights, insisting of the American republic, that 2024 is the “last stand to save it!”

    Trump Campaign Speaker Warns of Civil War if Dems Win Election


    Just a week ago they were crying and begging for unity after Trump almost got his head blown off, now it's right back to getting folks riled up for their dream civil war.

    Instead of civil war, they could consider changing their platform and candidates to make it more appealing to voters, right? A good start to this might be electing reps that don't call for civil war if they lose.

    Should be deported.

    This is the type of vile person who incites Republicans to fire their AR-15 at a political rally.

    I've seen a few idiots say this on message boards. I mean, how does this work? Trump loses, so you go do what? Shoot your liberal neighbors? These clowns live in some kind of fantasy land.

    I’m sure our fellow MAGATs will be here shortly to tell us how the left is really the violent party, though. I don’t know how much more proof anyone needs to know that a good majority of the right is completely unhinged nowadays. Trump’s damage to this country will continue to be felt for years, and god help everyone if he somehow gets reelected again.

    Unfortunately these clowns have a platform and a podium due to one person and one person only. The logistics of it aren't important.

    This is how you reach your voter base that is largely comprised of booger eating wrasslin fans.

    George Lang, James Bowman (aka JD Vance) and the right-wingers mounting up and getting ready to march out of Ohio after last night, heading for their DC Putsch.

    All kidding aside, arse clowns like this need to be arrested for treason, tried with their own words and sentence to life in Guantanamo.

    Fortunately, most Trump voters are just people voting against liberal policies. I dont know any who think like this. I do pass a house on my way to work with like 7 upside down flags and the 2024 numbers from a party store for a graduation in their yard and a huge Trump sign.

    But that guy is laughed at by the other Trump voters I know. Most of them are going to work like you and I and dont think like this guy.

    If you think the majority do, then you live in a bubble of your own making.

    That said this rhetoric is dangerous for obvious other reasons outside of "civil war".

    He later said he regretted saying this, so he realized it was stupid. Good for him. Any dems that called Trump Hitler apologize yet?

    “I regret the divisive remarks I made in the excitement of the moment on stage,” Lang said. “Especially in light of the assassination attempt of President Trump last week, we should all be mindful of what is said at political events, myself included.”

    Sure. And a couple guys booing an umpire's ball/strike calls lead to 30k doing it by the time the game is over, But very few of them want to go actually beat up the umpire.

    Crowds are a weird phenomenon.

    Leave the Democrats alone. They are so skilled they can both wash their hands to Hitler statements (that could lead to violence) while also patting themselves on the back for the hypocrisy and fake nobility of finally forcing an obviously declined candidate out ;)

    What would be the reason for apologizing? We are just agreeing with your BP candidate. Sometimes it is good to reach a Ross the aisle and find common ground

    No need to work hard to make the takeaway from this Trumpy violent rhetoric......'they're not ALL like that! '

    This is a national politician that received CHEERS for this. We're about 8 years past every one of these Trumpy traitors either refusing to participate in a party that encourages political violence, or......being acknowledged as un-American traitors.

    Hell, next thing they'll be beating the crap out of cops and calling the perpetrators "hostages."

    Oh, wait. We're already there.
