‘Squad’ Rep. Bowman predicts ‘civil war’ if GOP takes control in midterms

Progressive Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman warned of a stark outcome if Republicans take back power in the November midterm elections — one that would “embolden” far-right extremists and white nationalists who he claims “have been pushing” for “civil war.”

During a Saturday interview with MSNBC’s “The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross,” the Bronx-Westchester member of the congressional “Squad” led by socialist darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed Republicans will quickly take action to halt Democratic progress in the investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, saying the House select committee’s findings would be “completely suppressed.”

Bowman also claimed the GOP would “impeach President Biden as quickly as possible and they will continue to find ways to impeach him going forward.”

But Bowman went on to warn that Republicans gaining control of the House and/or Senate would “embolden” dangerous and violent extremists to take further control.

“It would also embolden Republicans and the far right, and white nationalists across the country to begin to believe that it is their time to not just take power in the House, but the Senate, the White House and statehouses across the country,” Bowman said.

Basically accusing the GOP of doing exactly what the DNC/progs have been doing for the past 6 years.

They want a CW with the half of the country with better weapons?

Not only dumb, but a severe death wish, this one.

Yep, and those with the weapons are far better shots.

If the DCP wants a civil war then bring it on. The DCP is the party that says nobody should ow guns and their opponents will be the people that own guns.

They always accuse others of what they, themselves, are doing.

They have organization, they have had the trial runs, and I have little doubt they will, at some place and time when they can control the official response, initiate widespread but localized violence.
I expect that in Democrat controlled enclaves,  those who respond to the violence will become the subject of official scrutiny and efforts to stop resistance to those who perpetrate violent acts upon the citizenry. Elsewhere, official responses may be very different.
IMHO, anyone who poses a threat to you and yours is a threat, to be dealt with using appropriate means.
Without making any comment as to response, I will continue to defend me and mine from any attempt to cause harm.
