Juan Williams: Trump's coup attempt should bar him from 2024 race (Major Barf Alert!!)
The Hill ^ | 8/16/21 | Juan Williams

Posted on 08/17/2021 9:41:08 AM PDT by Michael.SF.

But Attorney General Merrick Garland might be able to stop him.

Garland has the power to rule out another Trump run by citing “section 3 of the 14th amendment, which bars anyone from holding office who ‘engaged in insurrection,’ against the U.S.,” Robert Reich, the former Labor secretary, recently wrote in The Guardian.

If Garland takes Reich’s advice, he is sure to set off alarms about the attorney general playing politics.

But Garland has the facts on his side.

The facts say Trump tried to stage a coup.

So many things wrong with this clown's article. But this one made me laugh:

Another toxic form of quasi-secession by Trump’s supporters is evident in GOP-controlled state legislatures taking power away from local election officials. They now reserve final control over vote counting for themselves.

Hard to believe this guy actually makes a living at this.

By 2024 the country will be wishing Trump had had a coup.

He still won't win though.

No, I think they are counting on the third annual impeachment to do that.

This is how liberals think. Afghanistan. Biden doesn’t look good. Could he lose to Trump in three years? DeSantis? Start writing attack pieces.

Here’s a real howler from the comments section:

“Lets face it. Even if trump is convicted of a felony crime and sent to jail - the GQP and 74 million deplorable nazis WILL still vote for him.

Not since Hitler has any one person managed to convince millions of people to worship him and commit violent crimes and murder to get his approval.”

Juan is slightly smarter than Biden. Juan is also a racist and a hardcore leftist.

I don’t care what Juan says, ever.

Biden’s coup success should put him (and them) in prison.

Ron DeSantis might. And that's the man Donald Trump should endorse.

He's the man I'll be supporting.

The coup was stealing the election.

They could make a more convincing point by arguing that since Trump won BOTH 2016/2020, he is ineligible for 2024. Having 2020 stolen does not take away that DJT won it.

If Trump wants to run he’ll run and if they fix the voting system in key states he easily wins.

If so then that would make Trump the only person charged with insurrection on January 6th. How do you have an insurrection of one?

If Juan the Idiot would look at Afghanistan for a second he’d see what an actual insurrection looks like. My dog has a higher IQ.
