GOP Rep Slams Trump’s Quoting Of Pastor’s ‘Civil War’ Warning As ‘Beyond Repugnant’

President Donald Trump ominously raised the possibility of national violence Sunday if he is removed from office, quoting an evangelical pastor who warned on Fox News of a “Civil War-like” fracture.
Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, an Air Force veteran of Iraq, quickly slammed Trump’s tweet as “beyond repugnant,” adding: “I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President.”
The Rev. Robert Jeffress said in an interview Sunday (see the video above) that “ removing the president” will “cause a Civil War-like fracture in this nation from which this country will never heal.”
“I have never seen them more angry,” Jeffress said of evangelicals.
Jeffress, a right-wing pastor based in Dallas and powerful Trump supporter, has said that Jews are going to hell. He has characterized both Islam and Mormonism as heresies from the “ pit of hell,” and called evangelical Christians who don’t support Trump “morons.”

Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) also slammed Trump’s tweet.
“This is just a reprehensible way to talk and people could get hurt,” Schatz warned. He added that this “isn’t about partisan teams anymore.”

This is just a reprehensible way to talk and people could get hurt. This isn’t about partisan teams anymore - it’s clear now he will allow the Republican Party to eat itself and will tear the country apart if he thinks it gives him an advantage of any kind. t.co

Call me quaint but it just seems a bit ominous to have a president quote tweeting someone warning about civil war

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) cited Trump’s warning in a tweet and wondered if Republicans will now support the impeachment inquiry against the president — and condemn him in “strong, unequivocal terms.”

Hey @brianschatz - question:
The President just said that if Congress impeaches him, his suppporters will rise up in armed insurrection. “Civil War”, he says.
So tomorrow will Senate Republicans
a. support impeachment inquiry; or
b. condemn him in strong unequivocal terms

In addition to the outrage expressed by politicians against Trump’s tweet, other followers of the president were stunned:

if Obama had ever openly called for a civil war, Fox News would have totally lost their collective minds. Hannity would have shit red-hot cinder blocks. the incandescent furor from the wingnut outrage-industrial complex would have torn a fucking hole in the space/time continuum

Any president who would prefer civil war to being removed from office does not love their country and is certainly not serving it

Isn’t promoting Civil War another article of impeachment?

So far this weekend, Donald Trump has called for executing whistleblowers and members of Congress, and threatened a new civil war if the impeachment process continues.
That’s the president* doing this. Does anyone see a problem with that?
