"We are confident that the fair-minded Supreme Court will unanimously affirm the civil rights of President Trump, and the voting rights of all Americans."

"[T]he legal arguments against disqualification are ultimately unsound, and most are very weak."

"[M]y bet is that... even the liberal justices will lean toward allowing voters to decide whether Trump is fit to be president."

Barring Trump from public office "would be the mildest of punishments."

The Jan. 6 riot "is something that could disqualify him, under our rules, and under the constitution."

"The former president's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and the resulting attack on the US Capitol, place him squarely within the ambit of the disqualification clause."

"[A] plain and fair reading of Section 3... demonstrates that Trump is constitutionally disqualified from holding future public office."

"I think it's really actually very clearcut... [Section 3 is] in general language, and so it applies to anyone who incites an insurrection or rebellion."

Donald Trump and his anti-globalist, anti-war campaign deserve the most America First VP possible. Not only does he need a candidate with the same ideologies — and the mental capacity to keep his administration from being hijacked —  but one who, if he were to be taken out of office, could pick up the mantle and keep the movement alive.

Candace Owens endorses Vivek Ramaswamy or Thomas Massie for Trumps VP pick

After Mike Pence chose loyalty to the Constitution over his Tyrannical president in 2020, Donald Trump will be looking for someone who won't fight his authoritarian tendencies. Whether he chooses a traditional White man, or a minority to try and garner more minority votes, Trump's VP candidate will still be an election denier who downplays the atrocities of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
