Michigan election chief: Trump suggested I be arrested for treason and executed
Source: NBC News
Jocelyn Benson, Michigans 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 Trumps 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.

people at SU are discussing the astounding idiocy of an institution of higher learning renting out athletes to sell advertising to elect racist assholes trying to defund those same universities, take away their reproductive rights, and destroy their futures with global warming
and there are at least 87 universities doing the same shit to support trump, putin, and the fascist republicans

(6,573 posts)Who holds a WH meeting wherein he discusses someone he wants killed for crossing him? This is his standard reaction to anyone who crosses him about anything. If he runs and gets reelected, we are in for a world of hurt.
The whole GOP is now made up of mafia guys who are also afraid to cross their leader. And, there's a whole lot of us who will be on the list of those that are to be excluded from life.
It is imperative that we GOTV in November. And, we have to come up with the numbers to make Manchin and the other one irrelevant.
