    Team Harris Hits Back At Rally Warning Of ‘Civil War’ If Trump Loses — With Bikers For Trump Leading The Charge

    By Tommy Christopher,

    7 hours ago

    Vice President Kamala Harris and her team hit back at a speaker who warned of a “civil war” if former President Donald Trump loses — and said “Bikers For Trump” would be the tip of the Trump spear.

    Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) held his first solo rally as Trump’s VP pick on Monday in Middletown, Ohio.

    State Senator George Lang (R-OH4) was one of the opening acts for Vance, and kicked things off with an alarming rant about a potential Trump loss:

    I believe wholeheartedly. Donald Trump and Butler County’s J.D. Vance are the last chance to save our country politically. I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country!

    And it will be saved. It’s the greatest experiment in the history of mankind.

    And if we come down to a civil war, I’m glad we got people like Schmidty and the Bikers for Trump on our side!

    That rant — for which Lang later apologized — went viral and drew a blistering response from the Harris campaign in a memo and statement emailed to Mediaite:

    Statement on Trump Campaign Warning of ‘Civil War’

    Where is the promised unity?

    “Dictator” on “day one.” “Bloodbath.” “Unhinged.”

    That is what Donald Trump and his allies are promising if they lose this November. A campaign about revenge and retribution.

    Now, JD Vance is kicking off his first campaign event introduced by a Republican official warning of a “civil war” if Donald Trump loses this November.

    A reminder of how Donald Trump has led his party and encourages political violence:

    • Trump repeatedly denied the results of the 2020 election and refused to commit to accepting the results of the 2024 election, including three separate times on the debate stage
    • Trump inspired a violent mob to attack the Capitol building in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election
    • Trump was impeached for his involvement in January 6 and became the first president to receive votes in favor of conviction by members of his own party
    • Trump encouraged loyalists to attack those who criticized his involvement in the insurrection, including his own vice president
    • Trump promised supporters he would deliver “retribution” and pardon convicted January 6 rioters, who he referred to as “hostages”
    • Trump called for violence, including shootings, against Americans protesting racism and police brutality
    • Trump endorsed physical attacks against protesters at his rallies
    • Trump encouraged attacks against the press and praised a congressman’s assault of a journalist
    • Trump undermined efforts to combat white supremacist terrorism
    • Trump instructed the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by”
    • Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides” at Charlottesville
    • Trump warned that Americans “won’t have a country” if he loses in November
    • Trump compared his political opponents to “vermin” in a speech that echoed Hitler, who he once praised for having done “some good things”
    • Trump shared a video that referenced a “unified Reich” in his ideal vision for the country
    • Trump threatened to become a dictator on “day one” if he wins – and warned of a “bloodbath” if he loses

    Harris for President Campaign Spokesperson Ammar Moussa released the following statement:

    “Donald Trump and JD Vance are running a campaign openly sowing hatred and promising revenge against their political opponents. It’s a feature, not a bug, of their campaign and message to the American people. That’s why a Republican official was empowered to predict a civil war while introducing these candidates.

    “Trump and Vance pay lip service to unity, but their actions are more focused on dividing Americans than bringing us together. It’s the polar opposite of everything Vice President Harris stands for.

    “Donald Trump and JD Vance should denounce George Lang’s calls for violence and apologize for platforming this kind of violence.”
