Newsmax host Carl Higbie went on a tirade on Friday after former President Donald Trump was convicted by a Manhattan jury the day before.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to cover up extramarital affairs. Trump was concerned the affairs would come to light and harm his presidential aspirations. The Republican freakout has been swift if not predictable. Despite their outrage and indignation, some conservatives insist that being a convicted felon will help Trump’s chances of returning to the White House in November’s election.

During Friday’s edition of Frontline on Newsmax, Higbie demanded congressional Republicans drop everything and go after those involved in Trump’s prosecution.

    I was gonna say 2 guns, but how would they hold their beer?

    Do the have a designated anti gun person to hold the beers?

    Then who will they shoot at? Can’t waste the beer by shooting the beer holder!

      Shooting two guns at once is something that only happens in movies, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see one of these Very Special Forces guys on the right try to do it because he thinks it looks cool. I’d rather face him than someone who’s properly handling only one gun.

        This exactly. Guns have way more of a kick than people think and way less ammo. Too many people believe what they see in action movies. The gun range I go to you always hear about someone who wanted to live out something the saw in a movie… Only to end up shooting the ceiling, missing the target, and finding it the mag doesn’t last minutes (for guns with an auto setting).
