White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded to <A href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/08/29/lindsey_graham_predicts_riots_if_trump_faces_charges_over_classified_documents.html">recent comments from Sen. Lindsey Graham</a> where the South Carolina Republican senator said that if the former president faces criminal charges over his handling of classified documents, "there will be riots in the streets" from his supporters. <blockquote>REPORTER: Sen. Lindsey Graham said last night that there would be riots in the street if former President Trump is prosecuted for taking classified government documents to Mar-a-Lago, what is the White House response to that? KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: We have, you know, we have seen MAGA Republicans attack our democracy. We have seen MAGA Republicans take away our rights, make threats of violence, including this weekend. That is what the president was referring to when you all asked me last week about the semi-fascism comment. And he was clear, not all Republicans. There are some mainstream Republicans-- he mentioned the governor of Maryland [Larry Hogan] and what he's been doing and called him out about being the mainstream Republican. But we have seen MAGA extreme Republicans making these kinds of comments. This is what we are talking about when Joe Biden was making his comments... last week. Look, this is a president that believes when you are president of the United States it is your responsibility to have the strongest voice when speaking about democracy, and that is what you will continue to hear from this president.
