Of course he does. It's not as if he personally would be fighting in one.

[debbiej.]

He should resign. Any democratically elected official who espouses civil war, doesn't deserve his office.

[samconway]

This man would be the first to run away from a real fight. What a 🤡.

"Nice", keep sowing division

Jsus Christ this guy actually got elected!

[brettsinger]

Imagine going to prison for Trump's pathetic, phony cause. I can't think of anything more wasteful and tragic than that.

[Brghtn]

This guy should be put on trial for treason...

[amuthi]

Go forth and sue him for propagating civil unrest immediately.

[HDall]

This makes him a criminal, in the first degree! knowing that by the withdrawal of his words others will be held accountable for acting. the same as the 6 th of january

If he wants to take on the US Military I don’t think we should stand in his way. Should be pretty quick.

[sehmina]

Very irresponsible choice of words. Time for both parties to try something new. This repetitive fighting and fear mongering is getting old.👀

[craigshagin]

My soul does not fight with itself and doesn’t want to be led by these buffoons. Bikers for anything does not sound like a great future to me but an escape escaping order as an individual is one thing; destroying order of a nation something else entirely.
