Mister Donald says we will bury you
Again, there’s nothing subtle going on here:
A Donald Trump ally who worked in his Justice Department said Tuesday that if the former president is elected again, his administration will retaliate against people in the media “criminally or civilly.
Kash Patel, who was also chief of staff in the Defense Department and held a role on the National Security Council, made the comment on Steve Bannon’s podcast. He said that, in a second Trump administration, “We will go out and find the conspirators not just in government, but in the media,” over the 2020 election, which Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
Patel isn’t some rando — he’s likely to play a major role should Trump get another term.
By the way, if you’re wondering why far-right activists and their delegates in the federal judiciary have a target painted on New York Times v. Sullivan — this is why. The First Amendment is not compatible with Trumpian governance.
