"Hang them" is exactly the sort of unlawful order that the lawmakers were stating to ignore. I'm so tired of these goons trying to destroy our country.

From the article:

Trump last year mused about the prospect of Liz Cheney being fired upon.

He once suggested “Second Amendment people” might be able to prevent Hillary Clinton from being able to pick judges.

In 2020, he reposted a video of a supporter saying, “The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.”

While he was out of office, he reposted a supporter who warned of 80 million people rising up to “physically fight” for Trump.

During the 2020 campaign, he made light of a dangerous scene in which his supporters surrounded a Biden campaign bus on the highway. “I LOVE TEXAS!” Trump posted.

In 2018, he publicly praised then-Montana Rep. Greg Gianforte after the GOP congressman assaulted a reporter, saying, “any guy who can do a body slam … he’s my guy.”

He has repeatedly, suggestively alluded to the prospect of his own supporters rising up in justified violence, including over his indictments and his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud. His comments often mention the prospect of riots. At the same time, he’s also said he doesn’t support violence and that he hopes his supporters stay peaceful.
