Sen. Graham says if Trump is indicted, there will be 'riots in the street'
Fox News ^ | 08/28/2022 | Lindsay Korni k

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., criticized what he viewed as a two-tiered legal system in favor of President Biden and against former President Trump on "Sunday Night in America."

Host Trey Gowdy began the segment with a viral clip of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealing on Joe Rogan’s podcast that the FBI warned Facebook about "Russian propaganda" before the 2020 election, leading the tech giant to suppress stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop.

This news coupled with reports on the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home led Graham to suggest that there is a "double standard" in federal enforcement that could inspire violence in response.

"Most Republicans, including me, believes when it comes to Trump, there is no law. It’s all about getting him," Graham said. "There is a double standard when it comes to Trump. What happened with Hunter Biden is that the FBI weighed in to make sure the story didn’t break before the 2020 election. We now have whistleblowers at the FBI telling Sen. [Chuck] Grassley that they were told to slow down and back off Hunter Biden. And I’ll say this, if there is a prosecution of Donald Trump for mishandling classified information after the Clinton debacle … there will be riots in the street."

The senator repeated his warning that there would be "riots" if Trump is prosecuted.

"If they tried to prosecute President Trump for mishandling classified information after Hillary Clinton set up a server in her basement, there literally will be riots in the street. I worry about the country," he said.

If there are riots, there is no doubt that the rioters and their supporters will be rounded up and incarcerated or even executed.

Riots in the streets is exactly what the Deep State wants.

It will give them the excuse they need to identify and neutralize the most virulent MAGA activists.

Been there. Done that.
Maybe, with someone decent elected, we’ll turn machine guns and flamethrowers on the rioters and hunt them wherever they hide.

Sept indictment leads to riots which give the communists reason to shutdown the election defeat in November! Watch!

If people stay smart, no riots. Stay the course for November. I don't think an indictment will go the way 'they' think it will.

But DC may well become the only "safe space", outside some deep blue enclaves, and I wouldn't bet on that long term.

While it would seem like an injustice, most Trump supporters are not the riot-in-the-street type of people.

However, there are crazies on ‘our side’ too. I don’t doubt that there could be issues.

What I would find interesting is that the spent all of 2020 acting they couldn’t figure who was doing all the burning and looting during those “mostly peaceful” riots. I think it will be a very interesting and very illustrative difference to see how they handle those MAGA semi-fascists.

I don't think there will be riots in the streets.

For myself, however, I will require that the fake government stay well clear of me in the future.

‘riots in the street’ will not be enough.
We are going to need a heck of a lot more than that.

Lindsey should worry about convicting Biden in the impeachment hearings.

Exactly, activists should put their time and energy behind getting local conservative elected in their House and Senate and Governor races.
