Trump campaign lawyer Joe DiGenova said during an appearance on Newsmax on Monday that a recently fired top election official should be shot.
DiGenova, who made the remarks during an appearance on the “Howie Carr Show,” was talking about Chris Krebs, the former head of U.S. cybersecurity. The remarks were widely condemned on social media.
“Anybody who thinks the election went well, like that idiot Krebs who used to be the head of cybersecurity,” said DiGenova, “that guy is a class A moron. He should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot.”

“Trump fired Krebs nearly two weeks ago after the former director of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency attested that the 2020 elections were among the safest in history,” Politico reported. “The president, whose personnel decisions have a record of being weighted by his perception of loyalty, fired Krebs by tweet, insisting that the election had been stolen from him.”
“The recent statement by Chris Krebs on the security of the 2020 Election was highly inaccurate, in that there were massive improprieties and fraud – including dead people voting, Poll Watchers not allowed into polling locations, ‘glitches’ in the voting machines which changed votes from Trump to Biden, late voting, and many more,” Trump claimed in a series of tweets announcing the Krebs’ firing. “Therefore, effective immediately, Chris Krebs has been terminated as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.”
Trump’s decision to terminate Krebs came after Krebs released a statement about the 2020 elections, saying that they were secure.
The statement was a joint statement made by the members of Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council (GCC) Executive Committee – Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Assistant Director Bob Kolasky, U.S. Election Assistance Commission Chair Benjamin Hovland, National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) President Maggie Toulouse Oliver, National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) President Lori Augino, and Escambia County (Florida) Supervisor of Elections David Stafford – and the members of the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) – Chair Brian Hancock (Unisyn Voting Solutions), Vice Chair Sam Derheimer (Hart InterCivic), Chris Wlaschin (Election Systems & Software), Ericka Haas (Electronic Registration Information Center), and Maria Bianchi (Democracy Works).
The statement said [emphasis original]:
The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result.
When states have close elections, many will recount ballots. All of the states with close results in the 2020 presidential race have paper records of each vote, allowing the ability to go back and count each ballot if necessary. This is an added benefit for security and resilience. This process allows for the identification and correction of any mistakes or errors. There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.
Other security measures like pre-election testing, state certification of voting equipment, and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s (EAC) certification of voting equipment help to build additional confidence in the voting systems used in 2020.
While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too. When you have questions, turn to elections officials as trusted voices as they administer elections.

Well, it would certainly be a good start, but the list is quite long.
Language like DiGenova’s has no place in the GOP or any group - it is inherently Marxist and intimates that we share Marxist views and tactics.
Just gives the media and our other enemies ammo.
DiGenova and others waste their and our time with repetitions of the various accusations already made.
The accusations may be true but evidence that stands up in court, and a convincing presentation of that evidence, is what’s needed.
Well, there is the battle for hearts and minds. Maybe that’s what DiGenova is doing.
Top DHS Official Should Be ‘Taken Out At Dawn And Shot’ For Defending Election Results
It time to act like patriots and counter the coup
Remember the impeachment hearings. The Democrats made fools of themselves, day after day, easily called out by the likes of Jim Jordan, etc.
They still impeached the president.
Talk is cheap. Do something or shut up. (this is aimed at our elected officials, not you).
Yes, the “SHOT HEAD ROUND THE WORLD” was definitely fired by a Marxist.
Uh-huh.
We should all just sit back and chill and let Biden-Harris have their way with us because we are so much better than they are, or something.
Very stupid thing to say.
Awful tough to win anything by only playing defense
Obviously referring to the result of legal and proper prosecution for treason.
What a load of crap
You submit to being eaten by lions and complain about the process
Enemies must be destroyed. There is no left wing progressive who is not an American enemy. The sooner you learn and understand that fact America will be on the road to becoming America again. If you maintain a kumbaya all is going to be well attutiude. you doom us all to a socialist Euro state.
Is that what you want? It seems so
He’s a deserter under fire.
That legal team needs a bulldog like Joe. Go get em.
so will he now be banned from twitter
bannon was banned for a head on a spike metaphor..which was also used by Colbert about Stephen Miller
Yes indeed. But we also need effective lawyering beyond the level of obligatory and obvious press statements
“Language like DiGenova’s has no place in the GOP or any group - it is inherently Marxist and intimates that we share Marxist views and tactics.
Just gives the media and our other enemies ammo.”
I could not agree with you more. I mean, why can’t we just all get along? We should just reach across and be friends. The nation has got to heal this division, and the best way is to embrace and love Harris/Biden. We must get along for the sake of our children. /s/
Seriously, the DHS was created along with the Afghanistan and Iraq wars by super RINO Bush. All three are burdens on a Free America and need to be done away with.
When Bush first touted the DHS the word “Homeland” reminded me of Hitler’s “Fatherland” and I wondered just how much it would turn out like the Gestapo, an instrument for the state and not the people. Well gee whiz, guess how it turned out.
The DHS is just one of the many federal agencies that need to go.
Lawyers are paid to express words that are often uncomfortable. If a client believes the words spoken by his lawyer hurt his case, the client will fire that lawyer.
No need to be cruel about it.
I’d settle for a month in the stocks, followed by tar and feathers.
All the media does is tell endless lies and project liberal propaganda.
I think we’re well past giving a damn what the media and the left thinks.
