Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger says he “never imagined” such a message from a president.
….If the Democrats are successful in removing the President from office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal.” Pastor Robert Jeffress, @FoxNews

I have visited nations ravaged by civil war. @realDonaldTrump I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President. This is beyond repugnant. https://t.co/a5Bae7bP7g

This is just a reprehensible way to talk and people could get hurt. This isn’t about partisan teams anymore – it’s clear now he will allow the Republican Party to eat itself and will tear the country apart if he thinks it gives him an advantage of any kind. https://t.co/Sg2U76BYFS

Hey @brianschatz – question:
The President just said that if Congress impeaches him, his suppporters will rise up in armed insurrection. “Civil War”, he says.
So tomorrow will Senate Republicans
a. support impeachment inquiry; or
b. condemn him in strong unequivocal terms— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) September 30, 2019
if Obama had ever openly called for a civil war, Fox News would have totally lost their collective minds. Hannity would have shit red-hot cinder blocks. the incandescent furor from the wingnut outrage-industrial complex would have torn a fucking hole in the space/time continuum

Any president who would prefer civil war to being removed from office does not love their country and is certainly not serving it

And Democrats:
Isn’t promoting Civil War another article of impeachment?
I think so.

A president calling for their own country’s civil war is a “high crime”
Don’t @ me.

So far this weekend, Donald Trump has called for executing whistleblowers and members of Congress, and threatened a new civil war if the impeachment process continues.
That’s the president* doing this. Does anyone see a problem with that?
