• President Donald Trump on Monday night reportedly told evangelical Christian leaders there would be "violence" if Republicans lost their majority in Congress as a result of November's midterm elections.
• "You're one election away from losing everything that you've got," Trump said, according to the report.
• If Republicans did lose big to Democrats, Trump said, "They will overturn everything that we've done and they'll do it quickly and violently, and violently."

 

President Donald Trump on Monday night reportedly told evangelical Christian leaders there would be "violence" if Republicans lost their majority in Congress as a result of November's midterm elections.

Trump suggested Democrats would "quickly" and "violently" overturn gains he's made for conservative Christians, according toexcerpts of the closed-door meeting obtained by NBC News.

"You're one election away from losing everything that you've got," Trump said, according to the NBC News report. "The level of hatred, the level of anger is unbelievable." Trump apparently went on to say that the midterm elections were not only a referendum on him.

If Republicans were to lose big to Democrats, Trump reportedly said: "They will overturn everything that we've done and they'll do it quickly and violently, and violently. There's violence. When you look at Antifa and you look at some of these groups — these are violent people."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

During Monday's meeting, Trump also reportedly repeated a previously debunked claim that he'd gotten rid of a law that prohibits churches and charitable organizations from endorsing political candidates. Presidents do not have the constitutional authority to repeal laws.

Trump was apparently referencing what is known as the Johnson Amendment. In May, Trump signed an executive order aimed at undermining the law, but legal experts have said say the executive step was largely symbolic. Efforts to kill the law in Congress have stalled.

Almost had a hat trick, there. This is a dog-whistle for his base (and another clear abdication of his oath to the Constitution). Any violence that occurs after the midterm likely won't be from the left.

Didn’t Trump do the same to most of Obama’s policies? It’s not outlandish to assume that if a democrat gets into office the same will happen? And antifa has been violent on occasion + a lot of people don’t like Trump so it seems believable for him to think that “the level of anger is unbelievable†it’s obviously over exaggerated but what politician doesn’t exaggerate?

It’s possible for violence to break out wherever

He knows he's done for. Also, the left isn't the paranoid side with all the guns, lol.
