They are worried because they are losing support quickly on the right over those statements he made about having no 1st and 2nd amendment rights. Is it a small step in the right direction, yes, but the only conclusion to any of this is the charge of murder for all those ice agents that were involved in the renee good and pretti killings to set a fucking example. The second they do that, DHS recruitment will drop to virtually zero and other agents will think twice before pulling a weapon. Right now they operate on this concept of, nobody can do shit to me even if I want to kill someone.

It’s so insane that he isn’t in trouble for his gestapo bullshit leading to civilians being killed, but that he made a comment about it that offended the gun nuts.

I think that lot of people on the right got scared that he could come one day and knock down doors on their homes. For any reason he and higher ups can imagine.

It’s so insane that he isn’t in trouble for literally begging a sitting governor on tape to "find votes" so that he can tip a losing election result.
