  1. DJT’s fans, following his big lie, making deadly threats. This is so disturbing. And he could stop this craziness, but he won’t because he loves the misery he causes. Sad.

    1. @RedTitan5 – FOX has never been a news network. Roger Ailes made it very clear that FOX was founded and run as an entertainment network. FOX doesn’t do real journalism, it’s never come close to winning a pulitzer prize for journalism. If you want actual fact-based news, FOX is not a viable source.

    1. @Chadillac I know reality is hard to comprehend outside of your trailer park, but things will get better Jethro mc-cousin-FUKR.

    2. @Karma Hunsaker I see, so you are judge, jury and the cops are the executioners. Never mind due process. You probably think Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero. Aren’t you somethin!

  2. What else Is new…Republicans spawned these loonies. Now they can’t get them back in the cage.

    1. Democrats threatened Republican legislators who would not certify the fraudulent electoral votes for Biden. Democrats are sleaze balls.

  3. This is a natural progression – when you fail to arrest and hold accountable those who are attacking our democracy. That Trump is not already in custody is the reason that this sort of thing is happening and will continue to happen. The message being sent is that no one is going to stand up for our democracy.

    1. @Dale Cash So, where is common sense anywhere in your arguments? Let me illustrate my point with a challenge: If the 2020 Presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump and given to Joe Biden:

      1 – Why did those who perpetrated the election/voter fraud not also use the SAME ballots and the SAME voting machines to secure an increased majority in the House and a supermajority in the Senate?

      2 – Why did REPUBLICAN Governors and REPUBLICAN Secretaries of State certify their elections in the battleground states under scrutiny?

      3 – Why are there ZERO “audits” in states where Trump won?

      4 – Why did Trump’s legal team bring over SIXTY court challenges, including THREE to the Supreme Court, and LOSE THEM ALL due to a lack of evidence, and dismissed even by judges and Justices appointed by Republicans and Trump himself?

      5 – HOW was this MASSIVE election/voter fraud perpetrated at a scale that allowed Biden to win by over SEVEN MILLION POPULAR VOTES AND 74 ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES?

      6 – If there was widespread voter/election fraud, why has ZERO evidence of it been presented, despite literally HUNDREDS of opportunities to do so?

      7 – Why is it that our electoral system has functioned properly for HUNDREDS OF YEARS – until Donald Trump came down an escalator in 2015 and started undermining confidence in it without presenting a shred of evidence of his accusations?

      8 – Why is it that the extremely conservative Heritage Foundation was only able to identify a voter/election fraud rate of only 0.00006% when the entire purpose of their study was to uncover it if there was so much that it could be responsible for stealing an election from Donald Trump?

      9 – Why was voter/election fraud needed to steal an election from the most hated president in the history of our country whose approval rate NEVER cracked 50% even one time throughout his entire presidency and who also LOST the popular vote in the 2016 election, despite assistance from Russia, his own personal campaign finance violations, and help from his friend David Pecker who ran a smear campaign against Hillary Clinton through the National Enquirer?

      Look, confidence in the electoral process is the cornerstone upon which ALL democracies stand. And, in the absence of that confidence, democracies FAIL. Therefore, anyone who would undermine confidence in the electoral process better be able to PROVE their allegations with compelling evidence that is clear to ALL who behold it. Otherwise, they are treasonous traitors and should be treated as such. So, bring the receipts or shut the hell up!

    2. ​@Dale Cash _’Our election system is completely idiotic…’_ You have no idea how our elections are run. You’re just regurgitation Right-wing BS meant to undermine the results. The people running the elections/recounts are observed by *multiple outside agencies* while it’s being conducted. And audits are preformed by still other outside agencies. What makes Arizona different is they chose a completely unqualified company *that pushed the election-fraud conspiracy theory from the start* , instead of one of the qualified, unbiased agencies readily available.

      _’If it turns out to be disinformation as you say, a full audit will show that…’_ No, it won’t. The Arizona audit team was biased from the start. They’ve already committed enough errors that ANY results are suspect, and yet the GOP is STILL pushing it. It’s nothing but *blatant* attempt at undermining faith in the election.

      _’And it’s not going to be resolved by telling doubting Republicans to blindly trust the results without giving them an opportunity to verify the work’_ It’s never going to be resolved. *There was no credible evidence to begin with* . This is ENTIRELY a manufactured ‘crisis’. You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

    3. @Radagast Brown Trumpist, a made up word compliments or the FAR LEFT Atlantic.
      wrought with Diverse and inaccurate claims as to meaning.
      Meant to get a Rise and useful for little other purpose.
      Use is clearly a sign of limited communication skills outside one’s personal bubble.
      and what the hell makes you think any of the above are afraid to do their jobs? Sounds like the reasoning of a Fool.

    4. Hi saw this nice comment of yours that caught my attention but we are not friends here on YouTube, I would love to be friends if it’s okay with you 🌹🌹🌹.

    1. @David Lafleche “Former President Trump never committed any crimes”? Well that tells me everything I need to know about your position.

      Have a good day. I’m done wasting my time with you.

    2. @Aircraft Carrier Wo-Class A forensic audit is going into phase two which is analyzing the paper ballots and folds. You must not be a Patriot if you don’t support the election integrity process. I live in FL and ID and us folks take the election process very serious and so should the demonrats.

    3. @Theodore Sweger ALL of the remaining democratic nations must now fight for our democracies! We here in the United States won the first phase of the battle by voting Trump out of office. Now comes the even harder part!

  4. This fool is still talking about “both sides” as his side is threatening him and his family with murder.

    1. YOU THROW THESE MADE UP STORIES OUT THERE AND WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT IT AGAIN…DID THE DEATH THREATS JUST MAGICALLY STOP AFTER THE ONE, OR ARE THERE MANY??? WE WANT A COMPLETE FOLLOW UP TO THIS NON-STORY…WE WANNA SEE THE ACTUAL DEATH THREAT(S)…WE WANNA KNOW EVERYTHING THE FBI LEARNS ABOUT IT, LIKE WHO SENT IT, THEIR NAME, AND THE EVIDENCE YOU HAVE AGAINST THEM…WE WANT TO SEE YOUR DOJ GOONS SWOOP IN AT 6 IN THE MORNING LIKE THEY DID FOR ROGER STONE AND ARREST HIM….THEN WE WANT FULL COVERAGE OF THE TRIAL ON NATIONAL TV TO HEAR THE COMPLETE CASE WITH *BOTH* SIDES STATING THEIR CASES….OTHERWISE, YOU’RE JUST PISSIN’ UP A LIMP ROPE….AND YOUR *SHOCK AND DISMAY* PERFORMANCE AT SUCH COWARDICE IS NOTHING BUT A SHOW FOR THE USEFUL IDIOTS TO WATCH …SMH

    2. @proud Liberal They wanted to murder him. Remember Kathy Griffin’s “joke” about chopping his head off?

    3. Yes and under glove puppet Biden it will loose even more the elite cheated the election and put their glove puppet into power.. now watch the US crumble and implode.. internally at first and then externally.. you wont hear it from the mainstream media though.. when are you people going to learn that CNN is the most biased, fake channel in the US.. Its ratings have plummeted by 77%, since Trump left office, they have to keep making up more and more bullshit about Trump to survive

    1. Hi saw this nice comment of yours that caught my attention but we are not friends here on YouTube, I would love to be friends if it’s okay with you 🌹🌹🌹.

    1. @CNN MSDNC- HAIR SNIFFER JOE ALL FAKE there are no missing ballots in AZ, and Joe Biden did get 81 million votes. Do you want to know why, because most Americans HATE donald Trump

    2. @Paolo Curradini – >>”If we all just invested 10m a day in being kind to our brothers and sisters who *find themselves* on the other side of the political divide, …” you wrote …
      I agree with the sentiment, but people don’t “*find themselves* on the other side …” The decision to be part of the Party of Q, the Party of Sedition, the Party of Fascism, complete with propaganda networks and shadowy organizations funded by laundered money from foreign nations is a conscious decision. It’s noble to seek reconciliation and re-unification of all Americans, but it is monstrously stupid to wait for that to happen before moving forward to aggressively nip this emerging fascism in the bud before we “find ourselves” engaged in another World War.

    3. @vaticinus I am not sure what point (if any) your lengthy drivel is supposed to convey. We are not bound by historical patterns, and they are certainly no excuse for making things worse. If you can’t take the time to add a few qualifiers to your messages and thus avoid engaging in a logical fallacy (such as generalization) for the sake of healing the partisan divide, but are more than willing to spend a much greater amount of time to post dense and irrelevant musings when someone calls you out , you are obviously a foreign agent.

    4. @WakeUpAmerican000s We don’t have to wait for reconciliation, we have to actively work on it. And we can do that at any time, For instance, you could right now make some conciliatory, appreciative statements about those members of the GOP who put country before party, and thwarted Trump’s attempts at subverting democracy. If you spent half the eneergy you invest in arguing with me to come up with some kind words for the people you unfairly disparage with your generalizations, it would prove that you are not a foreign agent…

    5. dont you mean the Democrats who are dividing the nation with their polices ??? you need to open your blinkered eyes

  5. Meanwhile, Republicans are on FOX crying about how a representative’s wife was served court papers. 😒🙄😒

    1. Miss Kimberly that’s not true! They are also rolling car chase videos. MAGA = the dumbest cult in history and nothing is more dangerous than stupid.

    2. @Very Hot Потрібно знайти здорове заняття. Перестаньте витрачати свій час.

  6. Trump must be held accountable. Put him away, then go after the rest.
    Put an end to this insanity finally.

  7. This is a man who needs to be honest with himself about the principles and character of the “side” that he represents.

  8. I wish this guy would quit saying it’s a both sides thing when the reality is Trump supporters

    1. @Joe Tee Hi saw this nice comment of yours that caught my attention but we are not friends here on YouTube, I would love to be friends if it’s okay with you 🌹🌹🌹.

    2. @Rick Deckard Hi saw this nice comment of yours that caught my attention but we are not friends here on YouTube, I would love to be friends if it’s okay with you 🌹🌹🌹.

    3. @Xgaming125 g – so you consider the Nov 2016 Women’s march of over 700,000 women in DC (and another 800,000 combined in 20+ other cities) all in pink hats to protest the Russian-assisted election of a lifelong misogynist mobster a “riot”? And what should happen when a bunch of white cops break into an apartment and kills a black professional woman (Ms Taylor)? Then all get off scott free.
      Or when a known white supremacist Minnesota cop kneels on the neck and slowly suffocates a black man over a period of nine minutes, even with a crowd of people filming and begging him to stop? Would you expect that the victims families would just shrug and say “oh well – those white policemen were sure good guys who should just keep working as policemen”

      And don’t ignore the fact that four white supremacist Proud Boys (so far) have been indicted for inciting violence at BLM protest marches in Seattle, including one of the killings up there. Or the white 17 year old trumpanzee who did the shooting in Kenosha, WI BLM protests.

      And of course, the January 6, 2021 republican domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol that resulted in more dead Americans than the ISIS terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi back in 2012. The republican terrorist attack was incited by the lifelong misogynist mobster (and sore loser) that the 2016 Women’s march was protesting.

  9. “Both sides”? No, Mr. Raffensberger, right now, the problem is exclusively on your side. Please stop making false equivalencies. Democrats are not issuing death threats to your wife

    1. a dem denied sarah huckabee dinner, tho.
      (but did it quietly, one-on-one, and comped the cheese platter she’d ordered/eaten as appetizer already)
      so …

    2. @Patrick M Stop with the false equivalencies. The two events were completely different. BLM are protesting over centuries of human rights abuses, police brutality and racism. You MAGAts lost an election. And to the point, most of the BLM riots and looting were gangs, rightwing insurgents and opportunists. The VAST majority were extremely peaceful. But you go ahead with your little talking points and white privilege tantrums, I’m sure someone is interested

  10. He thought Republicans were “better than that.” Where was he during the entirety of trump’s presidency?

    Maybe he thought the “right” people were being threatened back then.

    3. @Paul Dronette Hi saw this nice comment of yours that caught my attention but we are not friends here on YouTube, I would love to be friends if it’s okay with you 🌹🌹🌹.

  11. He thought that his party was better than this. That’s laughable, I guess he forgot about Nixon.

    1. @Rick Deckard Democrats want foreigners to interfere in elections, on their behalf. That’s why they want illegal aliens to vote, and why they oppose Voter ID.

    2. @David Lafleche Illegal aliens do not vote and dead people don’t vote. Please stop saying it, or provide the proof.

    3. @Rick Deckard In Massachusetts, they are proposing laws that allow illegal aliens to vote. And there is plenty of evidence that the names of dead people were used to register fake ballots. That’s why Democrats oppose “purging” the rolls, even though the law requires it.

  12. Raffensberger keeps talking about the values of his party … every single day they show us those values, hatred, racism, bigotry, misogyny and lying …those are the GOP “values.”

    1. No, he says what the values are *supposed* to be. The others are breaking this with their vileness and hatred.

  13. Republicans: If we can’t win, we’ll make laws to make sure we win, in other words, CHEAT! …Oh yes, intimidate and threaten election officials too.
