SCARY VIDEO: Republican State Senator Calls For Civil War If Trump Loses

A little more than a week after Donald Trump was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania, a Republican state senator named George Lang from Ohio openly called for a Civil War if Trump loses the election. The comments were made a rally featuring Trump's running mate J.D. Vance, with Vance taking the stage shortly after Lang's comments and without any kind of condemnation of the exceptionally violent rhetoric. Lang has apologized, but his call to action won't disappear with a half-assed apology, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

This week, Republican senator and Donald Trump's running mate. JD Vance gave a speech in Ohio, but before he got on stage, an Ohio State senator by the name of George Lang got on stage an openly called for a civil war, which he is confident by the way, Republicans are gonna win. But this is what happened. Take a look. Fight,

Fight, fight, fight, fight. We got time. Come on. Hey, we are in the fight for the soul of our nation. We are in a fight for our kids and our grandkids. A fight that we can never imagine, I believe wholeheartedly. Donald Trump and Butler County's JD Vance are the last chance to save our country politically. I'm afraid if we lose this one, it's gonna take a civil war to save the country and it will be saved. It's the greatest experiment in the history of mankind. And if we come down to a civil war, I'm glad we got people like, uh, schmitty and the bikers for Trump on our side.

This of course happened nine days after Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet. And another man by the name of Corey Comparatory was killed at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. Right? Nine days after that violence at the Trump rally, George Lang, a state senator, Republican state senator from Ohio, says, if Trump don't win, we gotta do a civil war. Gotta have a civil war. This man should be immediately removed from office. Now to his credit, this man who looks eerily similar to a bullfrog did issue this statement on social media after the clip went viral. Of course, he wasn't gonna take preemptive measures. No, no, no. He was fine with it until everybody saw it. And then he got on Twitter and said, I regret the divisive remarks and the excitement of the moment on stage, especially in light of the assassination attempt on President Trump last week. We should all be mindful of what is said at political events. Myself included.

I was just excited, so excited to call for the division of the United States. I regret that I said it. I'm not sorry I said it. I don't apologize for saying it. I regret it. He said the, there are so many things I want to say. Like I really could just go scorched earth right now, possibly blow up my own career. If I actually said what I wanna say here. Um, if I wanted to call this man the names that I wanna call him instead, I'm just gonna stick with, why the does he look like a bullfrog? But here's the thing. This happened nine days after Donald Trump was shot at a rally and a man was killed at a rally. Oh, and by the way, two others were critically wounded at that rally. We heard all last week, Republicans, some, but not all say, oh God, we need unity.

Oh, we should have unity. Trump was talking about unity. Then he goes back into his horribleness. These people learn nothing, not a thing. And if you're openly out there calling for civil war in this country, then you sheepishly say, oh, I regret saying that. Do you think your regret your little post on Twitter, do you think that changed people's minds who are ready to go to war? The posts on social media over the last week since Donald Trump got shot, you have Republicans openly calling for war saying they're ready to start killing. I, I've done segments on that in the last week. Do you think they give a about your sheepish little statement on social media? No, they don't. All they hear is a Republican politician calling for Civil war. And for the record, where the hell was JD Vance? Right? He came on stage after this idiot. Did JD Vance condemn the comments? Nope. So JD Vance, in my opinion, is equally guilty. He may as well have said him himself. 'cause you heard that man make those comments on stage before you spoke, and you seemed totally fine with him saying that.
