Trump tells Glenn Beck he’d ‘lock up’ political opponents if reelected
The Hill ^ | 08/30/2023 | DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

Posted on 08/30/2023 7:14:36 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Trump told conservative media personality Glenn Beck he would prosecute his political enemies if elected president again.

“You said in 2016, you know, ‘Lock her up,'” Beck reminded Trump of his statements about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016 during an appearance on his BlazeTV show Tuesday. “And then when you became president, you said, ‘We don’t do that in America. That’s just not the right thing to do.'

“That’s what they’re doing,” Beck continued, asking the former president, “Do you regret not locking her up? And if you’re president again, will you lock people up?”

Trump, who dismissed the various charges he faces in Georgia, New York, Florida and Washington, D.C., said there is “no choice.”

“Well, I’ll give you an example… The answer is you have no choice, because they’re doing it to us,” Trump said, adding that he “never hit Biden as hard as I could have.”

The DNC/Communist party engaged in illegal and treasonous activities.

Trump and fellow patriots did not.

LOCK THEM UP!

If they committed actual crimes punishable by prison, then yes. After a fair trial.

Exactly.

Mr. Trump and his associates are being "tried" for actions that aren't actually crimes.

Not to worry.

Our so-called “judicial system” has been thoroughly infiltrated by Democrat Party minions.

Nobody from the Biden and Clinton Crime Families will ever see a day behind bars.

That’s exactly why I’m voting for Trump in 2024. The RATS call it “pushback” when they do it.

No he did not promise to lock her up. He should have but did not promise

I like gallows in GITMO better. Throw in some media types too.

Before you can get passed the Banana Cabal of the Uniparty, you have to remove the bananas. When the political pendulum swings it needs to swing both ways. When it comes back to the right, the excesses could go on for a century and still not remove the stain of Bushes, Clintons, Obamas and Bidens. The Hill is so frightened that they will be exposed and irrelevant they will make a hit piece of anything.

If Trump gets elected the first order of business is firing EVERYONE he can fire! All of them! No holdovers to prop up the Deep State!

First things first.

Hate to hear this without context makes a good sound bite for a Dem campaign commercial. DJT should be wiser.
In a fair and just world, the crimes of the ‘Progressives’ would be adjudicated and punishment dealt. But in my lifetime, i’ve yet to see the Left pay for their crimes.

I’m going to be honest. I would absolutely LOVE to lock them all up, but I don’t see Trump actually doing this. I’ve got to be honest here. I could see Trump furiously posting on social media about how it’s unfair, and he would be correct, but don’t see him really doing much about it.

They’re not Democrats. That is their crime.

Not being a Democrat is not a crime.

They’re being “prosecuted” for actions which are not crimes.

You lock them up for one reason and one reason only: they broke the law. Hillary not only broke the law she did it multifariously and egregiously.

The swamp are terrified he will win, and with good reason. Trump was not a politician when he started his first presidency, so naive. Not so this time. Now he is an experienced politician, and businessman, and will waste no time in systematically eliminate all the swamp creatures who have exposed themselves this past 6 years, and will do it WHILE completing the border wall, expelling illegal immigrants, opening up our oil production, and restarting America. Even now the rats are abandoning the ship and doing whatever they have to saving their own skin.
