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.”

    Ah yes, Ohio, the land of sovereign citizens, home meth labs and civil war larpers.

      I love it when the “sovereign citizens” go quoting things like the Constitution, by the way. You mean, from the country you are not part of? It’d be funny if people started deporting them…

      As an Ohioan, this jackoff does not speak for all of us. If he truly did, he’d be missing six more teeth, and drinking the fourth of his state-mandated six tall boys per day.
