WashPost Reporter: Trump Is Telling Supporters To Stop 'Jack-Booted Thugs' Coming For Him
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/19/2023 2:26:12 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Appearing this morning on MSNBC's Velshi show, Leonnig said she felt compelled to call out Trump's "misinformation" in Trump's Truth Social post calling on supporters, in the context of his possibly imminent arrest, to "Protest. Take back our nation."

LEONNIG: It's not a violent crime he's charged with. And that means that he would be given negotiated terms under which to voluntarily turn himself in. Nobody is coming for him with cuffs. You know, he has the opportunity to come in a back elevator, backstairs, no perp walk, if he chooses. And instead, Donald Trump is really choosing to use this rhetoric to suggest that jack-booted thugs are coming for him on Tuesday, and people will have to stop this from happening.

Sounds like a fair request to me chump? What’s your problem with it. The “jack-booted thugs” label? Truth hurts, don’t it.

And? We’re supposed to let them kill him for a non-crime because they want him dead?

If they arrest him, there will be at least a dozen SWAT officers in body armor and flak jackets, armed with automatic rifles. They will place him face down on the floor, search and cuff him behind his back, then lead him with an officer holding each arm, for a perp walk through two rows of press. It’s all about maximizing degradation and humiliation, intended to belittle and humble him. The press will arrive with the officers and will have full run of that which will be described as a “crime scene “. We have seen this all before.

Yes, I’m looking forward to War Room. I have to wait until Tuesday tho. My puppy ate my Internet. I’m changing providers instead of repairing. My cell service sucks and I can’t steam on my phone unless I tolerate buffering every sentence or two. FR works okay since it’s text based and hasn’t changed in over two decades.

I'll let the image's "subtle" signal stand on its own merits.

There must be a memo that went out to the LAAP-dog media to write stories that make President Trump look worried and crazy in advance of an indictment.

They want people to think he's guilty because of his reported behavior.

If Trump wins 2024, I don’t think I will be able to survive the immense glee of seeing the leftist tears this time.

Wait and see
If Trump is the leader some think he is, he’ll gladly sacrifice blood and treasure for its citizens.
I’m afraid he could be crying “wolf “.

He didn’t break open his checkbook to help out J6 defendants. Many of whom had to use a public defender.

Let’s see, there is
- Trump and Stormy
- BiteMe showering with his daughter
- Hunter having sex with his niece

Yeah, Trump is the villain.

Can you think of any reasons why he didn’t pay for their legal representation?

“Nobody is coming for him with cuffs. You know, he has the opportunity to come in a back elevator, backstairs, no perp walk, if he chooses.”

Yeah, right. Trump's slap back just prevented DOJ from making a terrorizing media spectacle as they did to Roger Stone and the father who gave witness at an abortion clinic.

Lying with impunity.
