mike davisA Republican lawyer selected by the president Donald Trump He celebrated the election of Trump, who is reportedly considering a candidate to serve as attorney general in his second administration, with combative and even offensive rhetoric on Wednesday.

“To hell with the Union,” Davis declared on his old Twitter account, X. “We have the votes. And they tried to kill Trump.”

Davis said in a follow-up post:

My current mood is this: I want to drag their dead political bodies through the streets, burn them, throw them over the wall. (Legally, politically and financially, of course.)

Davis also said in the hours since Trump won the presidential election: declared “America does not deserve Trump,” he said and called for both Special Advisor jack smith and old Republican congressman Liz Cheney “to lawyering”.

The lawyer’s social media attack is sure to raise concerns about how Trump’s second administration could target his political enemies. Especially since the president-elect has suggested that Davis might be the right person to lead the Justice Department in his second term.

From Washington Post:

Trump recently tapped combative lawyers from outside the traditional legal establishment, such as Mike Davis, who went on television to defend him, as his running mate for a second term as attorney general, telling advisers and donors that his selection for the job was a mistake. Because they were weak in the first period or because they challenged him. Davis has faced criticism for his comments calling for imprisoning journalists and putting children in cages if he becomes attorney general, and has said the comments were intended as a joke.

Last November, Davis suggested: Mehdi HasanDavis, then of MSNBC, had made a “list” of several notable retaliation that Davis would employ while in power.

“@mehdirhasan is currently on my Lists 2 (indictment), 4 (detention), 6 (denaturalization) and 3 (deportation). I’ve already located him in the DC Gulag. But I’ll put her in the women’s cellblock with @Timodc (The Bulwark’s). Tim Miller). So these whiny leftists aren’t beaten as often as they used to be.” he wrote In that case.
