Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee Ā® on Wednesday said 2024 will be the last election ā€œdecided by ballots rather than bulletsā€ if former President Trump doesnā€™t win the presidential race because of his various legal battles.

In the latest episode of his show on TBN, Huckabee argued the legal woes now facing Trump are part of a politically motivated scheme from the Biden administration, an argument touted by many in the former presidentā€™s orbit.

ā€œIf these tactics end up working to keep Trump from winning or even running in 2024, it is going to be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets,ā€ Huckabee warned in his opening monologue.

Huckabee accused President Biden and his team of trying ā€œto make sure that Donald Trump is not his opponent in 2024ā€³ and ā€œto destroy Trump in the courthouse rather than at the ballot box.ā€ He also alleged the Justice Department, the IRS and the FBI are ā€œconspiring to hide the Biden family crimes, while all the time being obsessed with charging Donald Trump with crimes.ā€

    Did all those supposed Biden crimes occur since 2020? No? Then why did the Trump administration let these supposed crimes go uninvestigated?

      Anyone who says ā€œBiden crime familyā€ or a similar variant / transposition unironically, I have to ignore.

      For my own sanity.

      Not to mention Hunter Biden is getting his in court? Itā€™s just boring tax fraud and a gun charge and heā€™s taking his punishments without much fuss and working to rectify his transgressions, tho, so nobody cares. Also he never worked for the government in any capacity ever.

      Well it would be the perfect Trump response to know of Bidenā€™s crimes (not that thereā€™s any evidence of the current President commiting any) and then ask (edit: blackmailā€¦again messed up, extort) Ukraine to help him rather than asking why the legal system is not taking action. Like what youā€™d expect the D student in class thinking is the correct response to a situation.

      Of course then you have to forget that there were some people intelligent enough in the administration to figure it out.
