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.
Who says they already aren’t? We just don’t make it our entire personality.
“Speak softly and carry a big ass stick”, or something like that.
Liberals classically respond with calling you a MAGAt, insisting that “they have drones”, ask why you think you’d have a chance against the worlds greatest military, and a bunch of other silly bullshit statements that show that they have no understanding of anything that is happening around them, what the problem is, and have zero knowledge of history as they tell you that violence never solves anything.
I go to 2-3 shooting matches every month; I’d go to more, except that ammunition prices are expensive. I talk to people. I’m not some kind of closet leftist; I wear this shit on my sleeve. (Quite literally in the case of some of my morale patches.). I see the stickers, patches, and shirts that other people are wearing, and I hear them talking; their politics are clear. I expect that the next 2-gun match I’m gonna hear a lot of people angry about Trump rule 34.
Going to shooting matches as someone that’s pretty far left on most issues is like being in enemy territory. On the rare occasions that I get to make it to a match that’s mostly populated with people that are on the political left, I feel like I can finally breathe.
Statistics are pretty clear, more than twice as many Republicans own guns than Democrats.
