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.”

    They’ve been saying it for a while, with almost no blowback. They are only going to get more and more brazen until they are either put into their place, or they get what they want. They had an insurrection on J6 AND an adjacent coup attempt. And really, not one of them has paid the price in FULL for that treason. Not one of them.
