Warming up for Trump's VP nominee, at a JD Vance rally in his hometown, Middleton, Ohio, State Sen. George Lang revved up the crowd by screaming like a banshee before calling for a civil war if Republicans lose in November.

Fight!

Fight!

Fight!

Fight!

Fight!

We got time, come on!

Hey, we are in the fight for the soul of our nation.

Some plagiarism from Joe Biden right there.

We are in a fight for our kids and our grandkids, a fight that we can never imagine.

I believe wholeheartedly Donald Trump and Butler County's J.D. Vance are the last chance to save our country politically.

I'm afraid if we lose this one, it's going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved.

MAGA supporters are traitors in waiting as we see in the above video. If their hopes are dashed in November, right wing politicians and those following their podcasts will hope for blood.

We've seen many in the Republican party already try to overthrow a free and fair election in 2020.

Imagine if a Democratic politician proclaimed win or civil war at a campaign rally?

UPDATE: Kamala Harris released a statement:

“Donald Trump and JD Vance are running a campaign openly sowing hatred and promising revenge against their political opponents. It’s a feature, not a bug, of their campaign and message to the American people. That’s why a Republican official was empowered to predict a civil war while introducing these candidates.

“Trump and Vance pay lip service to unity, but their actions are more focused on dividing Americans than bringing us together. It’s the polar opposite of everything Vice President Harris stands for.

“Donald Trump and JD Vance should denounce George Lang’s calls for violence and apologize for platforming this kind of violence.”

UPDATE 2: He apologized.
