6:27Now PlayingA prominent supporter of Donald Trump has penned an op-ed where, in the title, he proclaims "They Want a War - Let's Give It To Them." Trump reposted this article and call for "war" on his Truth Social platform. The "war" that supporter Wayne Allen Root is calling for is not a physical war (that we know of) but is instead a legal war where he calls for "red state" and "red city" prosecutors to take on Democrats in a series of politically-motivated prosecutions for retribution. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

On truth social this week, aside from his many, many, many rants about the grand jury in Manhattan, which is now on vacation for the next month, possibly due to security concerns. So I'm not gonna mock him for it, but on truth, social, Donald Trump shared a story by Avid Trump supporter, Wayne Allen Root, where root, specifically in the title said they won a war. Let's give it to them. In fact, the entire ti entire title of the article that Trump shared was, Democrats wanna indict and arrest President Trump. They won a war. Let's give it to them. All right, so before I get into what the article said, because that's just the title, and that title I will give you, this is a little bit misleading, but this is coming from the same guy who just a few days prior had sent out a message on truth, social warning of quote, death and destruction if he has indicted in Manhattan.
So anything that says Democrats won a war, let's give it to him after use predicted death and destruction. Um, yeah, it's gonna be it, it's gonna be headline news. But once you dig into the article, you realize that Mr. Root, again, a hardcore Trump supporter, is not calling as far as we know for a war war. You know, he is not necessarily saying take to the streets with ammunition. He's saying, we, we wage a prosecutorial war against Democrats. Here's what, according to Mediaite, the article says, it urges, quote 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 Attorney General Eric Holder, mark Zuckerberg, speaker Emeritus, Nancy Pelosi, Dr. Anthony Fauci, hunter Biden, president Joe Biden, VP Kamala Harris, and Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of Homeland Security.
Mr. Root wants all these red state district attorneys. All these Red State attorney generals go ahead and just file charges. That's the war that he thinks should be waged by conservatives. You wanna arrest our guy? We'll arrest your people for what? See, that's kind of the big thing that you gotta explain if you're gonna call for the arrest of all of these people. Now, listen, I have never been a huge fan of Hillary Clinton. I I did vote for her in 2016. Absolutely. I mean, you saw what was on the other side. Hell yeah, I voted for Hillary. I'm not an idiot. But she has also been investigated probably more than Trump. She's
Been grilled by Congress for 11 hours straight. Even Trump never had to do that. And not once during any of that time did Republicans ever find a single thing to indict her for. So I'm on the side of, I don't think Hillary Clinton broke the law. She may have done things you don't like Republicans, but you got nothing to arrest her for. And your years of investigations kind of proved that Secretary Mayor Orcas, like literally no crimes there at all. That's just stupid. Republicans wanna blame Mayor Orcas for the migrants coming into the country. That that's, that's not something that Mayor Orcas is allowing. So that's not a, it's not not a crime. I mean, Dr. Anthony Fauci, y'all keep saying that, and y'all haven't listed a single thing that Fauci has done that's illegal. And then of course, some of these other people, George Soros, I get it, you don't like the guy, he's the only rich person in this country, essentially funding some liberal things.
So you want him arrested for that. Eric Holder, uh, I despise Eric Holder. He is a corporate defense lawyer, still didn't do anything illegal. Barack Obama. I mean, come on the list is, I could, you know, go up through everybody on that list and talk about how stupid it is. But this is what Republicans want to do, and I guarantee you that Mr. Root's commentary here, that Trump shared on truth social, it's not gonna fall on deaf ears with these right wing prosecutors.
