ouse Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) in an interview airing Sunday called President Trump the "greatest threat" to U.S. democracy since "the Civil War."

"I view this president and his conduct as the greatest threat to the democratic system and to the constitutional government since the Civil War,” Nadler said in an interview with radio host John Catsimatidis on AM 970 in New York. "Whether it’s threatening the newspapers or threatening the judiciary or calling people who criticize him treasonous.”

Democrats don’t want Trump to take away the slaves again. The economic system of the Democrat States depends on the labor of slaves. Just ask Cuomo about this, which he was complaining about, just last week.

The Democrats said the same thing about Abraham Lincoln in 1860.

Lighten up Jerry. Grouchy old fat white guys are irrelevant in Ocasio’s America. When we want any crap out of you, we’ll unscrew your head and dip it out.

“Fats” Nadler has simply lost his plantation-lovin’ mind.

Good. ‘Specially since we don’t want a democracy and currently don’t have one. He’s also a threat to socialism and communism. Does the dnc chair find that troubling as well? Good. The chair can always move to a friendlier society, say Vene-zoo-ehla.

It’s always hilarious when the party of “We don’t need no steenkin’ Constitution” rallies to preserve and protect it when it suits their needs.

No the Democrats are. And that was true during the Civil War also.

Nadler wants a future RAT president (God forbid) to declare a National Emergency and have the jack-booted cops go door-to-door confiscating everyone’s firearms.

And President Trump is a threat to democracy?

FU, Nadler!

What he means is that Trump is the biggest threat to Democrat hegemony.

He left out a word. Should read:

“Trump is the greatest threat to SOCIAL democracy...”

Sounds like Nadler’s colluding with John Wilkes Booth.

More projection from the Democrats. They are the ones who want to ban conservatives from even speaking at college campuses or at all. They are the ones whose party has lurched so far to the left that they are even driving women and minorities away. By comparison President Trump is extremely mainstream and represents the concerns of far more Americans even without the support of our leftist media. The Democrats ought to just go ahead and change their name to the National Socialist non-Workers Party of America. It has a familiar ring that fits them very well.
