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.

Man! Cannot believe how you all totally misinterpreted what I said!
Yes, we are at war. And our tactics have to be tactics of war, but it we adopt the ways of the Marxists we are no better than they.
Your conclusions as to what I was saying are totally incorrect, off base.
Most disturbing thing I see happening is how conservatives turn into a circular firing squad. This is a case in point.
You may not yet understand that this election debacle was perpetrated by foreign enemies in an attempt to overthrow the United States Government with willing accomplices. That was and is Treason.
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.
Marxist???
Only....drawn and quartered is a term/practice used for TREASON, in British history (The Treason Act) and, in the American Revolution.
And, per our own laws, in the US, treason is a capital crime, punishable by death.
Let’s NOT rewrite history, like the Marxists are doing.
AND, becoming shot is now in vogue!!
The accusations may be true but evidence that stands up in court, and a convincing presentation of that evidence, is what’s needed.
You got it backwards. How in the hell can you present evidence if no one will look for it? There is no signature validation happening, no vote audits, no voter registration checks, nothing is being allow to happen by your bias courts.
And I know you might not be aware, but affidavits are evidence! And they have hundreds of those (under penalty of perjury) stating voting fraud happened. There video evidence, destruction of evidence both software and physical, etc...
the enemies inside the wire... spies?? traitor?? treason?? get a rope.
I think they should at least give him a good tune-up before the actual shooting...
> “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 see nothing Marxist about Joe’s comments. What I see is you trying to describe any talk of going after traitors as being seen as “Marxist”.
We don’t care about what the traitors think or say. When they are hanging from a rope they won’t care either.
Your argument fails. Raise your hand and admit you erred.
According to International Law, Spies can be summarily executed...................
Well, it is coming to that. If we cannot vote then let’s party.

I don't trust him and his motives. I wonder how he happened to end up on talk radio pushing Barr and Durham while time continued to pass.
Less hyperbole & more action please !
People have been beaten, and even murdered, for wearing Trump gear. One pf the witnesses to vote fraud, is in hospital after they were beaten.
The Fraud's VP has also threatened to come after Trump voters.
There is no coexistence with radical leftists, and they have taken over the democrat party.
Less threats of violence, more evidence of voter fraud that will stand up in court please.

I haven’t heard the term ‘Jury Box’ used very much in the last few decades. It even sounds archaic nowadays...............
Or he could kd fess up and the next guy gets shot
I have. It is still very relevant.
At some point we will either become a marxist country if there is no fight.... I suppose you would leave it to a loaded SCOUTS and the Courts, Government Heads in States, to do the right thing?
Maybe you would not be opposed had the lawyer simply read the different types of charges first for Treason, and just saying that the firing squad might be a more appropriate sentence (without a cig, or eye protection) than say hanging?
