Michigan election chief: Trump suggested I be arrested for treason and executed

[RandySF]

Jocelyn Benson, Michigan’s top election official, faced an onslaught of threats after the 2020 presidential election for refusing to overturn results that showed Joe Biden had won the state. In those hectic weeks, she says she also received an especially disturbing piece of information: President Donald Trump suggested in a White House meeting that she should be arrested for treason and executed.

Benson, a Democrat, revealed the alleged remark for the first time in an interview with NBC News. She said she learned of it from a source familiar with Trump’s White House meeting.

“It was surreal and I felt sad,” Benson said, recalling her reaction.

“It certainly amplified the heightened sense of anxiety, stress and uncertainty of that time — which I still feel in many ways — because it showed there was no bottom to how far he (Trump) and his supporters were willing to stoop to overturn or discredit a legitimate election.”

2. Agolf Twitler is just like his employer Putler

Neither one cares about human life other than their own.

3. There goes Donny projecting again.

4. I believe her. A Trump consigliere calling her a liar is laughable on its face.

[Walleye]

5. He also threatened the Georgia Secretary of State, in that mobster sort of way

He said something like you could be running into legal trouble or something like that

[world wide wally]

6. I'm so thankful I didn't know Trump when we were kids.

I imagine that whenever he lost a game of whatever, he would threaten the other kid's life.

[oldsoftie]

7. Maybe if he'd gotten his ass kicked a few times as a kid he would've grown up better.

Worked for me!

[housecat]

11. Maybe it's not too late to kick

[oldsoftie]

20. And I award you todays winning comment! Excellent.

[housecat]

21. thanks

[patphil]

8. Arrested and executed!

How very Putin of him.
No need for a trial under the reign of Lord Trump. Just haul 'em in and kill 'em.
It's say so much that this guy was once President of the United States; none of it good.

[Stuart G]

10. Trump needs a very quick trial, then in jail for life, or whatever they decide.

....Yes, will be found ..."Guilty as Charged" I do not care what happens to Trump. Do you?

[patphil]

13. I do care what happens to Trump.

I definitely want him to be tried and convicted for his crimes, and spend the remaining days of his life in a jail cell, with Rudy Guiliani as his cell mate.

9. that moves into a few different criminal areas,

most seriously RICO - why the delay here?
reaches all the way to conspiracy for all who were present; glad they’re all true failures!

[dchill]

12. Projected guilt.

[Novara]

14. She's a tough, smart woman

And that makes the GOP's penises shrivel right up.

[Kid Berwyn]

19. And GOP balls to retract up like little tiny landing gear.

Where not even an official Tucker Carlson testicle tanner can reach, but will try.

[SunSeeker]

15. K & R for exposure.

[Mr. Ected]

16. If only we could apply that penalty to Trump and all the insurrectionists

We may be able to make America great again after all.

[Traildogbob]

17. But Kavanaugh

And Collins were threatened worse. Right? And were instantly given security. Not like a President threatened to execute them.

[onecaliberal]

18. Did she go public about this at the time?
