Sean Davis, a columnist and the CEO of the conservative outlet The Federalist, reacted to the travesty of justice that unfolded in the Manhattan courtroom yesterday by suggesting that Republicans should begin compiling lists of Democrats to prosecute and imprison.
He is serious. He believes Republicans need to hit back with twice the force.
Read the tweets from Davis below:
In 2016, the presidential race was decided based on candidates releasing lists of potential Supreme Court nominees.

In 2024, I want to see lists of which Democrat officials are going to be put in prison.
This is what happens when you cross the Rubicon.
If you’re a Republican running for office, you can just go ahead and throw away all of your elegant little policy proposals for this or that corporate exclusion or tax subsidy. Give me a list of which Democrat officials you’re going to put in prison, or get lost.

There’s only…
If you are a state AG/prosecutor with original criminal jurisdiction, you had better be drafting up charges, indictments, and warrants for every Democrat official involved in this insane, treasonous attack on our entire constitutional republic. https://t.co/pvpxBGt2TG

Biden and Garland should be indicted in Texas tomorrow for their ongoing criminal human trafficking conspiracy across the border and into the state of Texas, in direct contravention of state law.

The liberal outlet Mediaite was outraged that anyone would suggest there be consequences for the Democrats’ decision to do what they did:
Sean Davis, the CEO and co-founder of the the right-wing website The Federalist, called on Republicans to draw up lists of Democrats to “put in prison” in a social media post reacting to Donald Trump’s conviction on Thursday evening.
“In 2016, the presidential race was decided based on candidates releasing lists of potential Supreme Court nominees,” wrote Davis. “In 2024, I want to see lists of which Democrat officials are going to be put in prison.”
“This is what happens when you cross the Rubicon,” he added.
“If you are a state AG/prosecutor with original criminal jurisdiction, you had better be drafting up charges, indictments, and warrants for every Democrat official involved in this insane, treasonous attack on our entire constitutional republic,” he mused in another post.
Davis responded to Mediaite’s “outrage” by saying, “Don’t sow the wind and then act shocked when it comes time to reap the whirlwind.”
Regime media is outraged at the existence of consequences.

Everyone knows that the Republicans are weak but did they really believe there would be zero consequences?
