Trump AG Prospect Warns Letitia James: 'We Will Put Your Fat Ass In Prison'

Trump-aligned lawyer Mike Davis threatened New York's attorney general with racist and sexist posturing in perhaps a sign of things to come.

Summary

Mike Davis, a Trump adviser and possible nominee for attorney general, issued a threatening warning to New York Attorney General Letitia James, who sued Trump for business fraud, not to continue her legal actions against him in his second term, threatening to put her in prison.

Davis’s inflammatory remarks, including personal insults, come as James has vowed to defend Americans against any unconstitutional actions by the new administration.

Known for his extreme rhetoric, Davis has previously suggested punishing journalists and Trump’s political opponents harshly, though it’s often unclear when he’s serious.

Trump has hinted at a significant role for Davis in his administration.

      I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t and voted against it. And tried to get as many people to join me as I could. I tried.

        It’s hard to motivate people to show up when the platform has been “it puts the neoliberal on its skin or else it gets the Trump (again)” for 8y. Couldn’t we have talked jobs and material improvements for the lower and middle class or something?

        Edit: if anyone’s curious how the Democrats lost this election just scroll down this comment tree. Instead of asking how we can do better everyone’s consumed with finger pointing and “you deserve this!” as if we just shame our own voters enough we’ll surely win next time. Take a beat and really think about this: what do you do to win a popularity contest? If you lose the popularity contest how do you do better next time? It’s not this.

          No. Just no.

          The Democrats did not fail us. WE DID. We failed. The threat of Trump 2.0 was apparent to all. If that’s not enough motivation to at least show the hell up to vote and kick the can down the road on better things, then nothing is. Every democratic voter who stayed home or voted 3rd party was derelict in their civic duty to prevent something worse.

            The Democrats did not fail us. WE DID. We failed.

            Can the people, by definition, fail? What happened to the “will of the people” and democracy that Americans go on about?

            If this is what won, this is obviously what the American people wanted/chose.
