COLUMBUS, Ohio - President Donald Trump “poured gas on the fire” ahead of the occupation of the U.S. Capitol, fellow Republican Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio said Thursday in his harshest criticism of the president to date. The president’s continued refusal to accept the election results, without producing any credible evidence of a rigged election, “has started a fire that has threatened to burn down our democracy,” DeWine said. “This incendiary speech yesterday, the one he gave preceding the march that he gave to the protesters, served only to fan those flames, encouraging the mob behavior that ensued,” DeWine said.

Well, the democrats are suffering from roid rage and 5 years of TDS. They will take no prisoners.
Cancel all republicans.
Like in communist China.
The democrats and the tech sector are the new McCarthyites.

Blah, blah, the same words they all say, like a broken record, no evidence! It’s only because they don’t look. Mail in ballots, vote dumping in the middle of the night, Republicans barred from actually inspecting the ballots, just to name a few irregularities. Just shut up!

That should end your political career, DeWine. The Democrats are not going to vote for you, although I can't see why they wouldn't.

Republican Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio
1. Please produce an itemized list of evidence you would accept without question.
2. It is the responsibility of those who seek power to prove they hold it legitimately.
3. Can you prove, Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio, that no voting irregularities occurred in the 2020 election?
4. Do you Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio, hold your position because of fraud?
5. Can you prove it?

Not a Democracy, DeWine.
Never intended to be. The word is not found anywhere in the founding documents.
DeWine obviously received a public education and the completely flawed presuppositions that come with it.

He’s right about one thing, Trump did start a fire, but it doesn’t threaten democracy, only the entrenched, deep state, establishment swamp. Call it a grease fire.

Cheating in elections is the true threat to democracy. Stifling and demonizing one side of the debate is a threat to democracy. DeWine and people like him are delusional.

We are, just like Santa, 'making a list, checking it twice, we found out whose naughty and nice'.
DeWine is one of the bad guys, needs to be gone, along with McConnell, Graham, and many, many more in the Senate and House.

No sir. He pointed out that there was a burning fire that was destroying the foundation of integrity and trust in our elective system. These politicians don’t realize how much they have lost our consent and respect. I don’t know who this clown thinks what he is saying is true or matters.
It’s Possibly time to buy stock in the airplane share services right now. I’d believe after the last few days many of our “Representative’s and Political leaders” will be flying private. How many more times do you think mitt Romney or any of these fools are going to be willing to have the smelly commoners harassing them while they are waiting for their flights.
They were ok with it when it was focused on Trump supporters.

No, we do NOT have a "democracy" and the true threat to our constitutional republic was massive and rampant fraud that WAS proven with a ton of solid, substantial evidence (which was denied by corrupt and compromised officials and the 90% of biased media run by traitors).

Au contrare, mon frere. YOU and your fellow, yellow-belly Republicans startled the political fire. YOU and you alone are responsible for the current state of affairs. You all chose the CCP over the American people, and you will pay. You may be able to wipe us out, but once you’re finished, you will no longer be useful to your masters. They will start with little, insignificant worms like you.

Trump did nothing to stop "democracy." Has DeWine read the Constitution? On the other hand, people like DeWine and other weak-kneed Republicans are doing a lot to muzzle free speech.

There were six states in question who had every opportunity to provide the evidence that their Presidential elections were fair and honest. Of the six, all failed to do this. They chose charade and obfuscation. FIVE of the six were states with Republican legislatures. Georgia, the epicenter of this "controversy" had a Republican governor and secretary of state, besides the legislature. Those claiming "no evidence" of fraud will not allow examination of the true evidence; in fact they have even less evidence of honesty.
RECALL these REPUBLICAN legislators, governors and secretaries of state. Make them stand and deliver the reasons for their dereliction of Constitutional duty. The madness is not the Democrats who cheated...it is the REPUBLICANS in apparent collaboration. Put aside the cognitive dissonance...

I loathe my governor, DeWine. I have long thought he resembles George Burns.
Husted is DeWine's heir because DeWine is almost certain not to run again. Husted just lost his next election and probably
just gave our state to the dems.
I have never understood how Trump could win our state by 8 points and then Sherrod Brown wins comfortably 2 years later. Apparently Ohio is bipolar.

DeWine said people need to have faith in the electoral system and that the “good news” is the Constitution prevailed despite a mob. DeWine neglects to remember he is Ohio’s governor because members of the “mob” who support President Trump voted for him (DeWine). Regarding five Ohio Republican congressmen who challenged Biden’s election, DeWine said that would not have been his vote. Republican Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted, who was a former Ohio elections chief, said the 2020 election was not stolen and attributed the seeds of distrust to an inefficient process of counting votes in some states.
