Ohio Senator says Democrats’ win to cause ‘civil war’
Ohio State Senator George Lang, a Republican, says a Democratic victory could lead to a “civil war.”
Speaking at a rally for Trump’s vice-presidential nominee JD Vance, Lang claimed that Trump and Vance are crucial to saving the nation.
He warned of dire consequences if they lost.
The comment echoes past warnings from Trump who repeatedly refused to commit to accepting the results of the 2024 presidential election during the first debate.
Although Lang swiftly apologized, calling his remarks “divisive,” his comments reflect growing concern among some Republican voters about political violence.
Critics, including Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign and Ohio Democrats, condemned Lang’s rhetoric as irresponsible.
