Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee Ā® on Wednesday said 2024 will be the last election ādecided by ballots rather than bulletsā if former President Trump doesnāt win the presidential race because of his various legal battles.
In the latest episode of his show on TBN, Huckabee argued the legal woes now facing Trump are part of a politically motivated scheme from the Biden administration, an argument touted by many in the former presidentās orbit.
āIf these tactics end up working to keep Trump from winning or even running in 2024, it is going to be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets,ā Huckabee warned in his opening monologue.
Huckabee accused President Biden and his team of trying āto make sure that Donald Trump is not his opponent in 2024ā³ and āto destroy Trump in the courthouse rather than at the ballot box.ā He also alleged the Justice Department, the IRS and the FBI are āconspiring to hide the Biden family crimes, while all the time being obsessed with charging Donald Trump with crimes.ā
Iām not sure thatās wise. Using authoritarian tactics on them is just going to amplify their persecution complex, and create an opportunity for martyrdom.
The best we can do here is point out the dangerous language, and get these people under surveillance. If and when their followers do make a move, thatās when you build the case and bring them in.
I can understand the problems of so many spouting these sorts of lies and calls to action, though. It is a serious threat to national security. The solution here is a quick, but well documented trial of Donald Trump and his cronies. Throw anyone in our government (R, D, etc.) thatās violated the law out, and if need be, imprison them.
We desperately need to make examples of those who are creating instability with their crimes and lies. But they have to break the law in a very clear way, and we need evidence.
