Former President Donald Trump's supporters infamously stormed the United States Capitol this past January, beating police officers and threatening the lives of lawmakers, motivated by Trump's lies that the 2020 election was "stolen" from him by Democrats engaging in widespread election fraud.

Now, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), some of the former President's supporters remain somewhat of a threat.


A number of right-wing conspiracy theorists—such as MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell—have repeatedly lied that Trump will somehow be "reinstated" to the Presidency after the non-existent election fraud is exposed.

A DHS bulletin obtained by ABC News found that:

"Some conspiracy theories associated with reinstating former President Trump have included calls for violence if desired outcomes are not realized."

But the Department noted there isn't currently evidence of a specific plot:

"As public visibility of the narratives increases, we are concerned about more calls to violence. Reporting indicates that the timing for these activities may occur during August 2021, although we lack information on specific plots or planned actions."

It continues:

"Past circumstances have illustrated that calls for violence could expand rapidly in the public domain and may be occurring outside of publicly available channels. As such, lone offenders and small groups of individuals could mobilize to violence with little-to-no warning."

The date for Trump's reinstatement is a goalpost constantly in motion. Many conspiracy theorists thought it would happen on March 4, the original presidential inauguration day. Lindell has since insisted that it will happen sometime in August.

Of course, there's no constitutional process, outside of reelection, for reinstating a President who lost a bid for the White House.

Though the threat isn't as severe as January 6, for now, people still sounded the alarm.






They pointed out this violence from Trump's supporters is based on lies embraced by Trump and the Republican party.



Through statements released by his spokeswoman, Trump continues to broadcast the lie that the 2020 election was illegitimate.

Tucker Carlson Slammed After Agreeing With Guest Who Said We 'Should Have Sided With Hitler' In WWII

Former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson sparked backlash online after agreeing with Cornell University organic chemistry professor Dave Collum that Americans are learning World War II history "all wrong" and that the United States "should have sided with" genocidal German Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler.

Collum likened himself to Darryl Cooper, another Carlson guest who has branded Winston Churchill the “chief villain” of World War II. He went on to invoke General George S. Patton, claiming Patton had voiced the same view. In reality, Patton warned after the war that the U.S. had “fought the wrong enemy,” a reference to his concern about the Soviet Union rather than advocacy for Hitler.

Trump himself is widely believed to be in the Epstein files and has rejected calls by his followers to release them, admonishing critics of Attorney General Pam Bondi, who recently concluded no such list exists, despite claiming the exact opposite just months ago.
