Former Hard work Secretary Robert Reich cautioned in a brand new video launched Tuesday how American citizens might quickly “kiss our democracy good-bye” if former President Donald Trump and his allies be successful of their plan “to overthrow the federal government in a slow-motion coup.”
Trump “in the end did not overturn the 2020 election” end result because of the resistance of a handful of election officers, principally secretaries of state, “who held the USA’ rickety democracy in combination” via certifying President Joe Biden’s victory, the Clinton-era professional defined.
But when the “quiet motion” this is being led via former Trump White Space leader strategist Steve Bannon succeeds with Trump loyalists taking up the equipment of democracy, then all bets are off, Reich warned.
“We can’t permit our democracy to be overtaken like this,” he stated.
