On MSNBC's #AmJoy, guest Malcolm Nance had harsh language for President Donald Trump saying that the American people have not faced this much of a constitutional threat since King George III. He also compared Trump supporters in the government to "Saddam Hussein's people's council."
While discussing the possibility that President Trump could fire special counsel Robert Mueller, Nance vehemently warned Americans that they needed to defend the democracy.
The last time we had a crisis of this magnitude was not the civil war. The civil war at least used the precepts of the constitution to make a legal separation of the United States. It was George the Third and its enshrined in the declaration of the independence, other than putting troops in your house, many of these things are happening."
The analyst continued saying that if President Trump did fire Mueller, then he would take away the people's ability to police themselves.
"If he takes away the fundamental ability for us to police ourselves and to police a president of the United States, he has done the ultimate obstruction of justice. He is dismantling the constitution and it cannot stand. We cannot allow it to stand."
Then Nance, who served in the military as a U.S. Navy senior chief petty officer for 20 years, compared Trump supporters in government to communist regimes and cronies of the deceased dictator of Iraq.
"Those of us who have sworn this oath, anybody who is watching this who is in government and thinks that this is good, well then youre just joining a politburo, okay we dont need Saddam Husseins peoples council here to cheer him on. What we need to do is defend this nations democracy."
.@MALCOLMNANCE, you just scared the bejesus out of me.
Thank you.

It should be noted that speculation that President Trump will fire Mueller is purely a rumor - not rooted in any evidence. However, Nance should be able to find common ground with Conservatives.
To paraphrase a line from Ben Shapiro, Nance is not comfortable with the power Trump has, Right-leaning thinkers were not comfortable with the power Obama had. The problem is not in these two individuals per se, but in the power afforded to the executive branch and federal government as a whole. Based on that logic, there should be enough agreement to limit the size and scope of the federal government so that the president cannot act tyrannically.
These morons have no clue.
Lunatics. Each and every one of them.
Now that was funny!
We Haven’t Faced a Crisis of This Magnitude Since King George III
He’s right.......from the DEMS/elites!!
Smoking Crack AGAIN!
Partisan hacks. The Obama admin granting blanket communities for clear national security crimes and inviting subjects of that investigation into the interview room while others are interviewed by the FBI is a FAR greater crisis than ANYTHING Trump has ever done.
“this much of a constitutional threat since King George III”. King George III is the reason we have a Constitution.
These braindeads will have to get much smarter before reaching the lofty heights of “moron”.
Malcolm who? I don’t watch MSNBC for a reason.
Quiet down Malcolm.
I must have missed the part where Trump lost the election but claimed that Hillary had colluded with the Russians and managed to sneak into the White House instead of her.
Hyperbole much?
The threat of the Constitution is what Mr Analyst must mean by “constitutional threat”.
Well, Nance, pick up a gun and do something about it, ya jackwagon.
What? You don’t believe your own BS that much?
The projection is strong in these ones padawan.
Dont HATE. They saw Hamilton with accuracy and that stuff.
What an assinine doofus! Appears to think that the more outlandish and overblown the accusation, the more important HE’ll look. We DO have a National crisis. But it’s all the Deep State traitors’ doing. Trump is going to clean it up.
Another dumb-ass who thinks he lives in a democracy.
From the article - Nance’s comment:
“...The civil war at least used the precepts of the constitution to make a legal separation of the United States...”
Hmmmm....
