Robert Reich, a former secretary of labor for President Bill Clinton, penned an opinion piece for the Guardian on Monday urging states to bar former President Donald Trump from running for president in 2024.
“Trump committed treason and will attempt it again,” according to Reich’s piece. “He must be prevented from running,” asserts that the former president should not be permitted to run for office again due to his “treasonous” actions. To stop Trump from being re-elected, he urged state politicians to take action.
Reich claims that Trump engaged in “treason” when he “declined to accept defeat and instead asserted without foundation that the election had been stolen from him, followed by pressuring state officials to alter their tallies, developed a plot to identify fake electors, attempted to convince the vice-president to decline to certify electoral college ballots, looked for access to voting-machine information and software, got his backers in Congress to consent to question the results of the election and thereby alter the decision.”
All three arms of the federal government, according to Reich, have referred to the attack on the US Capitol on Jan. 6 as an “insurrection.”
Anyone found guilty of acting “in uprising or rebellion” against the government of the U.S. is prohibited from assuming a position in public office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
He complimented the Jan. 6 committee for their “painstaking work” and hailed the Electoral Count Reform Act, which was recently updated and changed how electoral votes are verified for presidential elections, for having “filled many of the legal holes.”
In a nightmare scenario Reich created for liberal America, Biden is re-elected in 2024, but Trump declines to acknowledge defeat and instead appoints “loyal secretaries of state as well as governors who will change the electoral process to make sure he wins.” According to him, Trump may even try to “appoint electors that are going to vote for him in spite of the result of the majority vote” considering the former president’s “loyalists currently reside in far more powerful positions throughout the federal and state government.”
Republican Party members, according to Reich, are prepared to “bend and ignore any rule” in order to re-elect the former president. He said that Trump is “less limited than when he ran in 2020” and asked states to intervene and block his candidacy.
“According to the plain interpretation of section three of the 14th amendment to the US constitution, secretaries of state, who in most circumstances decide who appears on the ballot, must refuse to put Donald Trump’s name on the ballot in 2024,” Reich said.
Your a complete idiot. The election at 3am was stolen. Do your research. Kangaroo court won’t release papers why?
WITCH HUNT
Nasty talk don’t know better English Your hateful, uit shows. Check out truth not what you think. Biden, Clinton many, many others check them out. Obama always going Hawaii on tax dollars, JFK adultery great image for USA, can list more, wake up are you so perfect
Absolutely right!!! Trump was the clear winner until the middle of the night, when the dark side came upon the elections (20 and 22) IT MUST STOP!!!
Robert Reich literally just gave the world the Demorats playbook lol
Absolutely. Thank You
Absolutely RIGHT, Election was stolen.
What a total friggin idiot this moron is!!! LOL LOL This fool has no idea what the definition of an insurrection is!! What an idiot!! If you have any brain cells left Mr. Reich think back to a REAL insurrection…the one that formed this country… american patriots took up ARMS (yes you idiot, they actually had the same guns you morons are trying to ban) an fought against a tyrannical king and yes; their REAL insurrection produced results. You stupid idiots in the Democrat party cant name a single word in our Constitution because you dont live by it…so go f*** yourself and i guarantee you when the REAL insurrection comes youll know it. So sit down and SHUT UP!! FJB
Perfect, and Oh yes its gonna come. Our ancestorswho conuered this continent dont die in vain.
The Democrat Party is more like the Communist Party and will lie and cheat to get elected and all they want is the money they can steal and cheat all the people of America out of! Wake-Up America, Donald Trump only took 1 dollar a year for pay and donated the rest to people who deserved help! WAKEUP YOU BLIND STUPID PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
This article is Complete Bull Shyyte from first word to last. There was never an insurrection! Insurrection was preplanned to label Trump because Schumer, Pelosi along with the FBI, the CPD and the Deep State wanted to Demonize Trump. The J6 Committee was a Star Chamber from beginning to end it always had a preordained outcome, plus it was illegal because that Witch Pelosi would not allow two Republicans on the committee to be chosen by the McCarthy but instead Pelosi allowed two Trump Hating RINOS on the committee Cheney and Kissinger. Trump never tried create 11000 votes in Georgia, Trump had won 18 of the 19 bellwether states that has been a guarantee as to who would be POTUS for the last 100 years, Trump gained 10-12 million new voters in the 2020 Federal election. Mark Elias files 150 suites in all 6 battle ground states to make sure ,and because of the Scamdemic made Mail-in Ballots were preferred which made Ballot Harvesting, voter Fraud and Malfeasance Rampant to make sure the Train-wreck Joe Xiden would be installed in the White House. This was proven by “True the Votes “2000 Mules” I could go on for another 5 paragraphs.
The simple truth as to why Trump is despised by the Marxist Radical Libidiot DemonHacks the MSM and the Deep State is because Trump cant be bought, he wont swim with the bottom feeders in the Swamp, he knows the Status Quo in DC must be purged along with the Deep State, this is why Trump is so despised. Plus he happens to love his country.
Thank You for your best comment. I have had my faith renewed once again today by my fellow patriots.
I think everyone missed the point of these remarks. They show just how afraid the left is of Trump–afraid they can not beat him in an election so they want to just keep him off the ballot. All the foolish “reasoning” is just the smokescreen to try to convince state officials to do their dirty work.
Robert Reich is a communist China sucking fool who hates 45 because 45 is a America first, freedom and liberty defending patriot. To solve this problem, there needs to be an uprising of a real insurrection, where all libidiots, of all levels, who are the real treasonous traitors, are treated with a steel 45 made in America that cleans out their skulls !
Yup !!! Right you are…
If it’s “Treason” and/or “Treasonous Acts” they’re looking for they have to look no further than the White House and it’s current occupier. Billions in Military Aid left in the Middle East for our “friends” there, ties to China, stolen documents he WAS NOT allowed to take as a VP and stored in a locked office in a college where only 3 people had keys, one being and UNKNOWN Chinese government official, documents stored in his homes garage, allowing a Chinese spy balloon to fly over our “MOST sensitive missle sites sending back information then NOT destroying it until it had completely crossed our country, most likely completing its mission and sending the information gathered back to China just to name a “few” treasonous acts. How many more have been “covered up” by the demoncRATS!
The only problem with Reich’s wishes, is that it’s unconstitutional, states cannot bar him from running, just California, they tried that and failed miserably. It would have to be proved that he committed traitorous crimes – something that Democrats have failed to do – numerous times.
Your are a idiot. What about Obama not even being a Citizen? Pelosi tearing up the State of Union, official government property. Judges stopping the counting of the votes, thin starting them up again. Pelosi did not assign more protection when she knew about the happening of Jan 6. Kathy holding up a head of President Trump. Mad waters telling people to harass of Republicans at any time, any where. I could go on but, the socialist communist dumocrats agenda is to control your business.
Perfect comment
Donald J Trump is the only God fearing American loving President we have had since Ronald Regan. What we have since then is money hungry corrupt politicians who only care about themselves and will advance their sick demented political careers at any cost. I think our best shot going forward is to pray for honest politicians and we have got to get out and VOTE !!! God Bless America and God Bless Donald J Trump.
Good comment, but we did get out the vote in 2020. Trump DID win by a landslide, but the election in 2020 was rigged in 6 different ways. We all know what they are. I was so dissapointed to see Fox news alegedly pay dominion a settlement, but I do not bekieve they paid dominion anything, I think Fox News id in on it and just had all of the elitist owned lamestrem medias report it that way, and fire Tucker Carlson, because they have to control the narritives in order to keep this lie, and this sham running. These elitists have been think tanking how to destroy America for decades, but when computers came on the scene these dominion machines just made it possible for the end result of mail in ballots, and drop boxes, and illegals voting, and dead people voting to be tallied up and seem believable. This is a tradgedy, and its all happening. Just because the elitists own all the satelites in orbit, and all the lamestream media channels does not make their lies, and spinning narratives true, We are not stupid, we know what is happening here. We need to stay strong, and fight like hell to overcome these evil doers.
This guy is full of it. The cheats are the ones he supports. All we want are honest and fair elections. Paper ballots with well vetted people counting them (bipartisan) – and same day counting of ballots. ID for eligible voters (non-citizens do NOT qualify) NO MACHINES or computers of any kind attached to counting. And also, any complaints of election interference/fraud to be quickly checked by a bi-partisan certified group of people with the final count revealed no later than the end of the following 2 days. We support Trump because he sees the corruption and knows how to put a stop to it. They can’t have that, now, can they? Most of the D’s are now being exposed for their cheating. But that is what people do when they have nothing to help the nation.
