Christina Bobb accused opponents of the former president of putting out ‘propaganda’ to harm his 2024 presidential run

An attorney for Donald Trump says that his supporters should not be made to believe that he has legal problems, following a decision to have the former president’s name taken off the Republican ballot in Maine.

Christina Bobb accused opponents of the former president of putting out “propaganda” to harm his 2024 presidential run.

It comes after Mr Trump was removed from the ballot in Colorado last month, under the 14th Amendment’s ban on insurrectionists holding public office. The decision to also block him from the ballot in Maine was handed down on Thursday by state secretary Shenna Bellows.

Speaking to Newsmax on Sunday, Ms Bobb suggested that Ms Bellows be impeached for her decision, and accused her of election interference.

    This extreme denial is very dangerous. I worry these people will attack regardless of what happens. If he keeps getting removed they will react before the elections take place. I’ve heard many of my traitorous co-workers constantly mentioning civil war and I hope its anecdotal.

        We joke, but what happens when Trump loses and just calls for general destruction. They’ve proven they’ll do what he says. I’m weary of anybody with Trump faction banners. I just don’t think our government is taking this serious enough.

          You can bet the FBI is making lists of people who are going to lose the right to bear arms. They are probably taking this very seriously, just not being public about to not scare them into being quiet about their intentions.

          Let them make themselves known, especially the organizers, as opposed to mouthpieces.

          Then we fight them and we beat them. It’s as simple as that. There’s no point in being worried about it; only prepared.

          I don’t think so. Only the absolutely unhinged would take up arms. Not that many people want to throw their lives away for something they won’t see achieved. Even most republicans live privileged enough lives that they aren’t willing to sacrifice their freedom, comfort, black rifle coffee, etc.

        Based on the quality of people who showed up to see JFK come back from the dead in Dallas a while back, I’m not too worried.

        These aren’t gravy seals they’re lard walruses.
