Lincoln Project co-founder: Trump's words 'will surely kill again'
Jordan Williams
Steve Schmidt, co-founder of the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project, slammed the media for its coverage of the former president ending his blog, and warned that Trump's words will "surely kill again."
In a lengthy Twitter thread, Schmidt, a veteran GOP strategist, weighed into on how to assess the former president's relativity and power amid the shutdown of the "From the Desk of Donald J. Trump" blog.
Schmidt criticized the "profoundly stupid media coverage" around the blog's shutdown, and argued against the notion that it's "evidence of his decline, irrelevance and diminishment."
But Schmidt said that the blog's popularity - or lack there of - has nothing to with how much power the former president actually yields, and warned that he presents a "clear and PRESENT danger to our democratic society and national stability."
"Trump has the ability to kill and destroy with the spoken word. His words; his lies, delusions and conspiracy theories have caused bloodshed. That is what happened on January 6th. His words will surely kill again," Schmidt said.
"Trump is the leader of an authoritarian movement made up of an eclectic mix of extremists including Proud Boy fascists, Neo Nazis, white nationalists, religious fanatics and conspiracy theorists," he continued. "The Republican Party is the vessel of this movement and the membership of that party is overwhelmingly united around the cause of Trump."
Schmidt further said that Trump is the presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee, and is "in command of the party lock, stock and barrel." He also warned that when Trump becomes a candidate again, Facebook and Twitter will lift their bans.
"We are in the early years of a great struggle in this country that will last a long time provided the pro democracy side can win elections because we are one away from seeing the autocratic side take power," Schmidt said. "They will not relinquish it again when they do."

CNN's Jim Acosta Uses Jimmy Buffett Lyrics to Mock 'Delusional' Donald Trump (Video)
Reid Nakamura
CNN weekend anchor Jim Acosta broke out a Jimmy Buffett parody on Saturday's show to mock former President Donald Trump for his "delusional" desire to reclaim the White House.
"It's as if much of the Republic Party is trapped in a Jimmy Buffett tune," Acosta said before launching into the recitation, completely straight-faced: "Wasting away again in Mar-a-Lagoville, looking for that next election to assault. Some people claim that there is an orange man to blame, but I know, it's my own damn fault."
The "Mar-a-Lagoville" gag came toward the end of a six-minute segment in which Acosta mocked Trump supporters for their campaign to overturn the 2020 election and the false claim that Trump will somehow reclaim the White House by August. He also took aim at Trump supporters like former Vice President Mike Pence and the notorious MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
"You are not well, sir," Acosta said, addressing Trump directly. "You need to get over this. Same goes for the GOP."
Acosta concluded the segment by warning of a different, "slow-motion coup" being conducted by the Republican party, citing efforts to restrict voting rights across the country and the "sham" audit of the 2020 election in Arizona.
"More than 100 scholars said it best this week: Our democracy is fundamentally at stake. History will judge what we do at this moment," Acosta said. "Please, no more elections to assault. If it happens again, it will be our own damn fault."
