Trump fanatic publicly encourages lynch-style arrest of Obama with 'pitchforks and torches' [View all]

Religious Right activist and “Fake Christian” David Daubenmire calls Donald Trump’s election a miracle and the greatest evangelical vote in history. Now he’s calling for violence against former President Barack Obama.

.....................................

“Donald Trump, now we know his own CIA, FBI—what do they call those guys? The snoops—they’re not sharing all their information with the president now,” Daubenmire said. “They’re not giving him the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. They’re undermining him at every turn. Why? Well, we have to understand that we’re in a war. We’re at war and to see what President Obama put into place, his desire to destroy America, I think he ought to be arrested.”

“I think he should be arrested,” he continued. “I think this guy has done everything he can to destroy America. I believe he is a traitor. I believe he should be arrested. I wish Trump would do it. I don’t know if he would, but some of us ought to do it. We ought to go get our pitchforks and our torches and go to town and arrest the guy. He’s doing everything he can to undermine us.”




Under law, this would be considered hate speech, as it promotes and evokes violence against another human being or group. Hate speech laws are rarely enforced in the United States due to our First Amendment, and thus we have hate groups like Westboro Baptist Church who are allowed to attend funerals at a distance. Other countries ban and prosecute such hate groups. However, In this video, Daubenmire is promoting violence against a U.S. president which is a Class E felony and violates 18 U.S.C. § 879 : US Code - Section 879. Threatening a president is punishable by a maximum of five years in prison. Daubenmire should be reported and arrested, just as the man who was recently arrested for threatening violence against Donald Trump.

I feared for Obama's safety during his eight years in office. I think I fear for him and his family more than ever now. trump is fueling the hate.
