Joe diGenova, a lawyer for the Trump campaign, called for the former election security head's death via a medieval or military-style execution.

said that Chris Krebs, the now-former director of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency who was in charge of maintaining election security,"should be drawn and quartered, taken out at dawn and shot."

diGenova made his comments while being interviewed by Howie Carr, a conservative host whose show simulcasts on the conservative channel Newsmax. Carr asked diGenova about the Trump campaign's allegations of widespread voter fraud that, it claims, swung the 2020 election in favor of President-elect"Mail in balloting is inherently corrupt and this election proved it," diGenova told Carr."This was not a coincidence, this was all planned.

On Monday afternoon, Joe diGenova, a lawyer for the re-election campaign of President Donald Trump said that Chris Krebs, the now-former director of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency "should be drawn and quartered, taken out of dawn and shot." In this October 19, 2017 photograph, Krebs testifies during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing concerning the roles and responsibilities for defending the nation against cyber attacks.

This particular style of public execution was typically reserved as a punishment for high treason and attacks on the monarchy. It was carried out in public, with the victim's body parts publicly displayed afterward, as a warning for other people who would dare challenge a king or queen's power.

diGenova likely called for Krebs' execution because Trump's legal team strongly disagrees with his repeated claims that the 2020 election was free of widespread fraud. Trump's legal team has repeatedly claimed otherwise in numerous swing states in an attempt to invalidate the outcome and put the election's results in Trump's favor.

How is this not verbal assault? That lawyer should be arrested.

Sounds like a trumpy disciple.

Oh how much the GOP admire insane autocrats

AmericanBarIRIS This type of behavior should be unacceptable and his lawyers should be disbarred.

Remember this when they tell us we have to heal and come together. This is what they want to do to their own. What do you think they'll do to you if you're not right wing? Please be careful around any Republican in your vacinity.

Spewing crap like this needs to be stopped.

Call the cops. Not sure that public death threats are legal in a democracy.

Trump has lost his mind! He really believes he is Kingtrump and this is a chapter from GOT...

There should be some kind of sanctions taken on this idiot lawyer, right? 🤔

What are the authorities waiting for ? Someone is going to get killed. This is absolutely sickening.

Not funny and irresponsible!

The Trump administration is circus of assholes.

Classic example of the Trump sense of loyalty to him before country.

Trump and his vicious sycophants must be sanctioned!

These Trump cronies don't seem nice.

Would you expect anything less from the party of 'pro-life'?

OMG OMG OMG OMG. Only 50 more days and the whole lot of them are out.

He should be arrested.

Seems like there are an awful lot of trump lackeys making death threats- and getting away with it.

It is time for these extremist to be held accountable for their words and actions..

Apparently, Kreb hit the nerve of truth and this so called lawyer should be disbarred.

Trump lawyer should be arrested for threatening the life of the former cybersecurity chief. Speak out against Trump job you get fired. Might be why the GOP was so quiet for 4 years.

He should be Charged with Terrorists Threats n be arrested

Why shouldn't diGenova be arrested?

Who are these (him) guy. Who would utter such a pathetic comment. Amazing.

sounds like a threatening call to violence

seems like something you could be disbarred for. I dunno, when you're GOP, you can do anything it seems

When you look like a little nazi lawyer, you certainly are a little nazi lawyer. It's what fascists do.

President Trump's legal team spent 10 HOURS in Arizona comprehensively exposing widespread voter fraud and the activist media was completely silent. Why is that?

GOP = fascism
