Don Jr: Trump Campaign Will Have Someone At Presidential Debate To Heckle Kristen Welker

Don Jr: Trump Campaign Will Have Someone At Presidential Debate To Heckle Kristen Welker
The Trump campaign is injecting intimidation in the heart of tonight's presidential debate. My only question is, will this person be a member of the Proud Boys or some other white supremacist militia group?
By John Amato
5 hours ago by Frances Langum


Trump's unhinged son joined Fox and Friends this morning, once again hopped up on something and armed with QAnon conspiracies.

Great family surrogate you got there, Mister so-called president.

But there was a surprise in the interview: Don Jr. admitted that the Trump campaign will have someone in the debate hall to attack and cause chaos against Kirsten Welker, the debate moderator, whenever they like.

Co-host Ainsley Earhardt said the Trump campaign is going to have people at the debate monitoring Kristin Welker and her use of the mute button.

"How are they going to do that?" she asked.

"Well, they're gonna have someone in the room and we're gonna call nonsense when we see nonsense." Junior said.

You're not suppose to give your strategy away before hand.

Of all the Trump family members, he has devolved the worst. I think he has some really serious addiction problems, which is understandable given who his father is. I would so love to see him stand up to that monster of a father.

Not carnys. My grandparents worked as Carnys when younger. Unlike trumpers carnys looked after each other. Remember the famous phrase "Hey Rube" they would holler when they needed help? I can remember going to the state fair when a kid and getting special treatment because they knew my grandparents.

That will impress the base but disgust everyone else. And it's probably a lie. And if some sh ows up with an AR-15 and fatigues, my guess is they'll never get in.

It's obvious the Trump campaign is no longer concerned about winning at this point. It's about creating as much chaos as they possibly can. They know their base eats up the "biased media" act.

been interested in winning votes, only in holding onto power by any means possible. Their plan appears to be to keep their base, create chaos, and suppress opposition voting, plus turn to a conservative court for decisions that favor Trump. Or try to get the vote thrown to the House for a decision, which would give him a win if done before the new House is sworn in.
