Trump-aligned lawyer Mike Davis threatened New York's attorney general with racist and sexist posturing in perhaps a sign of things to come.
Summary
Mike Davis, a Trump adviser and possible nominee for attorney general, issued a threatening warning to New York Attorney General Letitia James, who sued Trump for business fraud, not to continue her legal actions against him in his second term, threatening to put her in prison.
Davis’s inflammatory remarks, including personal insults, come as James has vowed to defend Americans against any unconstitutional actions by the new administration.
Known for his extreme rhetoric, Davis has previously suggested punishing journalists and Trump’s political opponents harshly, though it’s often unclear when he’s serious.
Trump has hinted at a significant role for Davis in his administration.
That’s the most disheartening part for me. I mailed mine in early and tried to convince everyone around me that not voting was worse. Well, this is what we get
So did my family...can't help ppl that don't want it I guess. I do love everyone trying to calm the ppl that will be affected by Chumps BS tho. Hit the same as "thoughts and prayers" honestly.
It's hard to motivate people to show up when the platform has been "it puts the neoliberal on its skin or else it gets the Trump (again)" for 8y. Couldn't we have talked jobs and material improvements for the lower and middle class or something?
Edit: if anyone's curious how the Democrats lost this election just scroll down this comment tree. Instead of asking how we can do better everyone's consumed with finger pointing and "you deserve this!" as if we just shame our own voters enough we'll surely win next time. Take a beat and really think about this: what do you do to win a popularity contest? If you lose the popularity contest how do you do better next time? It's not this.
Add him to the next case as knowing accomplice with criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice. He's publicly calling for a criminal act on an individual.
This is like when the State finally reveals that a domestic abuse victim had actually already contacted their local police force a dozen times before it was too late.
It's a good reminder to all of us. The law is for us to follow, not for rich people or politicians. They can do whatever they want and get away with it.
