Mediaite reports:
On Tuesday night, Trump threw some more fuel on the fire with a post on his Truth Social platform in which he posted a screed from Trump supporter Wayne Allyn Root entitled “Democrats Want to Indict & Arrest President Trump. They Want a War? Let’s Give It To Them.”
The link leads to a falsehood-riddled commentary urging “red city DAs and red state AGs” to arrest a laundry list of Democratic political figures and others.
The list includes: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton, George Soros, former AG Eric Holder, Mark Zuckerberg, Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden, VP Kamala Harris, and Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas.
Read the full article.
Wayne Allen Root last appeared on JMG in March 2020 when the New York Attorney General sent him a cease-a-desist letter for promoting a fake coronavirus cure.
Root served as the warmup act at several Trump rallies in 2016. At one of those rallies his encouraged the audience to fantasize about Hillary Clinton dying in a car crash “Thelma & Louise-style.”
Root has declared that Trump is “far too handsome” to ever need to grope women. In August 2016 he called for banning people on public assistance and women on birth control from voting.
He’s also promoted all the usual far-right bullshit about Seth Rich, the Charlottesville Nazi rally, and mass shootings.
He first appeared on JMG in 2012 as one of the leading proponents of racist birther claims about Barack Obama, seguing later into claims that Obama is secretly gay and never attended Columbia University.
In 2008, he was the Libertarian Party’s candidate for vice president, earning 523,000 votes on the ticket headed by former GOP Rep. Bob Barr.
Donald Trump posted a supporter’s call for retribution over the potential arrest he faces — with the message “They Want a War? Let’s Give It To Them.”
Stop denying he wants violence. He clearly wants violence. https://t.co/VK5HEJiBBt
