British tabloid The Mirror reports:
The news of Trump being found guilty in court was met with outrage among his supporters with some even threatening a “civil war”. The howls of violence were amplified by far-right figures in the MAGA movement. Far-right podcaster Stew Peters told his hundreds of thousands of followers on Telegram: “Our judicial system has been weaponised… we are left with NO other option but to take matters into our own hands”.
His followers responded with talk of burning down courthouses and rioting. Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk took to X, formerly Twitter, saying: “We must defeat these savages.” He also said they had “executed a legal assassination.” Conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec described Trump’s opponents as “unhumans” while podcaster Tim Pool tweeted: “war.” The far-right online forum Patriots.Win was also flooded with threats.
Read the full article. As you can see below, Pool, who interviewed Trump last weekend, apparently also believes that the guilty verdict means the end of pizza and Xbox. Pool has long been been mocked for declaring “war” or “civil war” any time things go against Trump.
war.
