Misrepresented words

Two recent letters to the editor misrepresented my televised remarks that 2024 could be the last election “decided by ballots rather than bullets.” The letters implied I predicted Trump supporters would be holding the guns. That is the opposite of my comments.

I believe the Biden regime has weaponized police power as a political tool to silence and criminalize political opposition: using a heavily armed raid on the home of a pro-life father, according to his wife; arresting and shackling a 74-year old former White House adviser as he boarded a plane (on his way to tape my television show in Nashville) despite that he had phoned the FBI the day before and offered to come in voluntarily. Former President Trump’s home was raided and his wife’s closet ransacked in the process.

When an elected official uses the power of public office to arrest, harass, and destroy political opposition using police power, it is the stuff of Third World tinpot autocrats and dictators. It appears social media companies have been used by this government to silence opposition; investigations of criminal corruption involving the Biden family have been thwarted by the Biden Justice Department; government law enforcement and intel agencies have fabricated warrants to spy on the former president.

If a government gets away with this abuse of the Constitution to take and keep power, the next step of such a corrupt government is to not even pretend to hold elections and count ballots. It will follow the history of other totalitarian rulers to keep power at the barrel of a gun.
