Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee ® on Wednesday said 2024 will be the last election “decided by ballots rather than bullets” if former President Trump doesn’t win the presidential race because of his various legal battles.
In the latest episode of his show on TBN, Huckabee argued the legal woes now facing Trump are part of a politically motivated scheme from the Biden administration, an argument touted by many in the former president’s orbit.
“If these tactics end up working to keep Trump from winning or even running in 2024, it is going to be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets,” Huckabee warned in his opening monologue.
Huckabee accused President Biden and his team of trying “to make sure that Donald Trump is not his opponent in 2024″ and “to destroy Trump in the courthouse rather than at the ballot box.” He also alleged the Justice Department, the IRS and the FBI are “conspiring to hide the Biden family crimes, while all the time being obsessed with charging Donald Trump with crimes.”
He’s not wrong. You can’t backdoor disqualify him. You need to beat him.
And in your opinion, does the 14th amendment of the Constitution prohibiting individuals who engaged in seditious acts against our democracy from holding office count as a “backdoor disqualification”?
It does if it’s Congress deciding that the seditious acts happened instead of a criminal court convicting him of it, which is part of what’s being discussed.
Already did.
Yes but if the Dems decide not to run one of the two least popular Democratic presidential candidates in my lifetime, they’ll beat him soundly enough to end his whole political movement.
Nothing backdoor about this. The wheels of justice always move slower than we like. The GA interference and Jan 6th investigations started shortly after they occurred in 2021 and they’ve finally culminated in charges. The jury will decide if Trump committed crimes, and thankfully in GA at least we’ll all get to hear the arguments and testimony of both sides.
Nobody is above the law. We have all heard Trump attempting to manipulate the GA secretary of state to throw the election. We have Pence stating clearly Trump wanted him to illegally invalidate state electors. We’ve heard Trumps claims the election was rigged but none of his lawyers have submitted any evidence of that in any of the states, so was he intentionally lying? I’m sure we’ll hear much more during the trial. The jury will decide.
There’s lawsuits out now trying to dq him ssns conviction. And suggestions of Congress declaring him guilty by fiat.
