WATCH: The REAL Reason President Trump Is Being Persecuted?

Gather around everyone, Jesse Watters of Fox News has a very interesting theory about the Trump prosecutions.

Watters rightly points out that the 14th Amendment wasn’t even followed at the time the 14th Amendment was ratified; scores of Confederates, including high-ranking Confederates, became members of Congress.

This was so pervasive that the Confederates flipped the House after the Civil War concluded. One even became a Supreme Court Justice.

So why all the screeching about the 14th Amendment? Watters believes that Democrats are attempting the old bait-and-switch.

According to Watters, Democrats want to bait conservatives into engaging in violence and starting a civil war. They want us to be the first to strike.

Presumably, they want conservatives to start a civil war so they can bring the full weight of the national security state down on Americans and create an iron-clad tyranny, though Watters did not explicitly state this.

An interesting theory indeed, do you believe it? Here’s what Jesse Watters and others had to say:

Simon Ateba also gave the left a history lesson: “Just like Colorado now, the Democrats, who were mainly slave owners, barred Republican presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln from appearing on the ballots in 10 Southern states during the 1860 presidential election.

But Abraham Lincoln was elected as the 16th President of the United States, becoming the first Republican president in American history.

NOTE: These states were South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Virginia.

NOTE: Lincoln did not appear on the ballots in those Southern states because they did not support his candidacy due to his anti-slavery stance. The Democrats wanted to keep slavery forever.

NOTE: Those slave states chose to support other candidates or not include his name on their ballots. However, despite not being on the ballots in those states, he won the election with a majority of electoral votes from the states where he was on the ballot.

MY TAKE: It’s ironic that the Republicans now are described as the racists, people who hate black people when actually, they brought slavery to an end, and the Democrats wanted to keep black people enslaved, even going to war to secede. May God help us not repeat history.”

The Hill provided this statement from former White House lawyer Ty Cobb on the Colorado Supreme Court decision:

“I think this case will be handled quickly. I think it could be 9-0 in the Supreme Court for Trump,” Cobb said in an interview on CNN, adding later, “I do believe it could be 9-0, because I think the law is clear.”

Peter Schiff explained how the 14th Amendment works :The 14th Amendment applied to former Federal officials who engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the U.S. during the Civil War. The events at the Capital on Jan. 6th don’t qualify. Trump would’ve lost Colorado anyway. This just makes him more likely to win swing states.”

Red State Observer’s Bonchie also pointed out: “Plenty of Confederate politicians went on to hold office after the Civil War. At no point was the 14th Amendment meant to be a blanket disqualification for any random accusation of insurrection. If you want that, charge and convict him of it. Otherwise, this is ridiculous.”

Left-wing MSNBC had this to say about the Colorado ruling:

That’s because the Colorado justices laid out a detailed opinion addressing multiple issues in an unsettled area of the law that states across the country are grappling with.

While it doesn’t technically serve as a binding precedent for other states, the Colorado ruling can serve as a guide for other decisions across the country, such as the impending one in Maine.

Though the U.S. justices can have the last word, other states may look to Colorado for now.
