Riots in the Streets
Trump and his allies have resorted to threats of mob violence in a desperate attempt to avoid criminal prosecution.
Trump is facing multiple criminal investigations including obstruction of justice, mishandling classified documents, attempts to overturn the 2020 election, and financial fraud. In an attempt to avoid accountability, Trump and his allies are summoning the MAGA Mob. On Fox News, Lindsey Graham threatened that if Donald Trump is prosecuted,"there’ll be riots in the streets.”
