UPDATED: House GOPer Calls For Civil War Over Trump Indictment

By Conover Kennard — June 9, 2023

Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins (R) tweeted out an ominous coded tweet, apparently calling for a civil war after his hero Donald Trump was indicted again. And Higgins really should get used to this because there is a very high probability of Trump being indicted in Georgia, and for his role in the Jan. 6th insurrection, too.

Higgins referenced Trump's Truth Social post in which the former President confirmed that he was "summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, at 3 PM."

The Louisiana Republican on the Homeland Security Committee mentions a "perimeter from the oppressors. Hold. rPOTUS has this."

rPOTUS is Q-talk for Real POTUS.

Here's the rest of the breakdown:

Deep scary: 1/50 k refers to military scale maps & publicly available US Geological Survey maps of areas mostly surrounding military installations. This isn’t a metaphor. This isn’t slow civil war. This is a congressman calling for the real thing. pic.twitter.com/HvAfn8yT4z

"1/50K know your bridges." Is an organizational code for county level insurrection. This man, who already sought a pardon for the Jan 6 insurrection, is organizing a revolt against the government on Twitter right now. Republicans are active traitors & a threat to our democracy. https://t.co/MDFTpsCkV7

“Rep. Clay Higgins has spoken at events organized by militia groups. When a rumor spread of a Black militia group protesting police brutality, he said their armed presence would be considered a threat and he'd ‘drop any 10 of you where you stand’”: https://t.co/K6tAzNnyW9 https://t.co/0wGNnK7GSq

Take this seriously. “Perimeter probe”: Higgins thinks indictment precedes bigger attack. “rPOTUS”: “real POTUS,” Trump. “Hold”: “stand back & stand by.” “Buckle up”: prepare for war. “1/50 k”: military scale maps. “Know your bridges”: militia speak for prepare to seize bridges. pic.twitter.com/8wMLQ0AvHA

Someone needs to call the FBI on that chud. If this happened on our side of the aisle, they'd be screaming for the perpetrator to be stripped from their committees, and the calls to resign would be deafening.

UPDATE: Biggs has doubled down:

We have now reached a war phase.

Eye for an eye.
