The leftists and their GOP allies are at it again, trying to find any way possible to ensure that Donald Trump never sets foot in the Oval Office again. Their latest scheme involves using the Fourteenth Amendment to disqualify “insurrectionists” from holding public office. It’s a desperate attempt to keep Trump off the 2024 ballot and silence the voices of millions of Americans who support him.
This absurd theory is being pushed by anti-Trump conservatives like Laurence Tribe and even some members of the Federalist Society. They claim that Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election and the events of January 6th make him ineligible to serve as president ever again. But here’s the thing – Trump has not been convicted or even formally accused of insurrection in any of the four criminal cases he is facing. The evidence and constitutional standards simply do not support such a charge.
Donald Trump declares:
Friend,
Justice and the rule of law are officially DEAD in America.
A left-wing prosecutor – with such extreme anti-Trump bias that EVEN CNN questioned her legitimacy – has INDICTED me despite having committed NO CRIME.

Conservative law professor Jonathan Turley has called this theory a “legal urban legend” and rightfully so. If any effort to challenge election results is considered an insurrection, then what about the Democrats’ actions in 2016 when they challenged the electoral votes? Should they be disqualified too? This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to silence Trump and his supporters.
But here’s the kicker – even if they succeed in disqualifying Trump, that won’t stop him from rallying his base and continuing to fight for the America they love. In fact, despite all the left’s efforts to throw him in prison and remove him from the ballot, Trump is still tied with or even surpassing Biden in the polls. The American people should be able to choose their own leaders, not have them chosen for them by Democrats and Never Trumpers.
So let’s not fall for this thuggish scheme. Let’s stand up for democracy and ensure that the voices of the American people are heard, regardless of whether the left likes it or not. America as we know it is at stake, and we must not let the radical left destroy our country with their power-hungry tactics.
