Newsmax hostĀ Carl HigbieĀ went on a tirade on Friday after former PresidentĀ Donald TrumpĀ was convicted by a Manhattan jury the day before.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was foundĀ guiltyĀ on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to cover up extramarital affairs. Trump was concerned the affairs would come to light and harm his presidential aspirations. The RepublicanĀ freakoutĀ has been swift if not predictable. Despite their outrage and indignation, some conservatives insist that being a convicted felon willĀ help Trumpā€™s chancesĀ of returning to the White House in Novemberā€™s election.

During Fridayā€™s edition ofĀ FrontlineĀ on Newsmax, Higbie demanded congressional Republicans drop everything and go after those involved in Trumpā€™s prosecution.

    I hate that idiotic narrative they keep pushing.

    Youā€™ve got 90% of the guns? Correctionā€¦you have 90% of the civilian guns. The military, who work for the legal government have far more than you do, as well as drones, bombs and tanks. So fuck off with your ā€œWe have 90% of the gunsā€ bullshit.

      Never underestimate a militaryā€™s capacity to support fascism.

      Signed, the entirely of Latin America, whose military dictatorships the US funded.

        Well, with my limited amount of grey matter, I was able to read a few accounts of WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam and I donā€™t ever want to experience war or sit here while other people have to. The idea is abhorrent. I mean if you have at least as much grey matter as this fucking idiotā€¦
