Ohio GOP Senator Says 'Civil War' Needed If Trump Loses | Common Dreams

"Inciting violence over an election that hasn't even occurred yet is irresponsible and undemocratic," said the Ohio Senate Democrats.

Just over a week after an assassination attempt against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump resulted in the killing of one bystander and left two people critically injured, a GOP state senator from Ohio was condemned for saying a Democratic victory in November would result in a “civil war.”

“I believe wholeheartedly Donald Trump and Butler County’s JD Vance are the last chance to save our country, politically,” state SEn. George Lang (R-4) said  at a rally for Vance, the first-term U.S. senator from Ohio whom Trump selected as his running mate last week. “I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved.”

      And if anyone calls these people Nazis, un-American, etc…then out comes the tone police, lecturing about unity and norms. I saw O’Lielly on Daily Show, acting as if calling Nazis, uh, Nazis is somehow related to a Republican nutjob trying to shoot their orange god-emperor.

      The fucking gall of these people, I swear. That is what pisses me off so much.
