Trump Supporters Are Calling for Civil War After FBI Search of Mar-a-Lago

by David Gilbert

Stephen Miller, a former senior adviser to Trump, appeared on Fox News calling the FBI’s action an “abomination.”

“We are truly living in a situation where the FBI has become a praetorian guard from Rome where they take it unto themselves to decide who wields power in this country,” Miller added.

Far-right troll Jack Posobiec unleashed an unhinged torrent of tweets in the wake of the FBI search, writing, among other things, that the “federal security state has declared war on Donald J Trump and his supporters.”

“Are you ready?” Posobiec asked his 1.8 million followers.

Right-wing media personality Candace Owens called for the FBI to be “legally and formally dissolved,” while Kari Lake, a Trump-endorsed candidate for governor in Arizona, called Monday “one of the darkest days in American history,” later adding “not a single one of us is safe.”

Fox News host and podcaster Dan Bongino called the FBI’s action “some third-world bullshit,” a phrase repeated by Trump’s son Eric, Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington, and the official Twitter account of the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee.

While some attempted to couch their calls to arms in codewords, others were more open about their desire for violence. ”
