Daily Caller columnist Mary Luke denounced Democratic attempts to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot during an appearance on Newsmax on Friday, saying that Democratic voters now feel “uneasy” about the party's policies. “It's become a burden,” he said.
Luke appeared on “Carl Higbee on the Frontline” to discuss Trump's exclusion from the Colorado and Maine primaries and Biden's recent response to the anniversary of the January 6th Capitol riot. Told.
Luke told Higbee that no one knows “how low” Democrats will fight to prevent Trump from returning to office, as Supreme Court rejects efforts to remove ballots. He hinted at speculation that the former president's enemies would have no choice but to assassinate him. (Related: President Trump's latest actions suggest he's targeting key Biden voting blocs)
“But it's a really scary thing for ordinary Americans to see.” [that] A president standing in front of an American flag telling all Americans that MAGA Republicans are a threat to democracy, that they are the worst thing that has ever happened to America, and that we must vote Trump out. There is. Yet Arizona has people convicted of ballot tampering and voter fraud, and they are putting them in the position of deputy mayor. That just doesn’t work,” she said, referring to Gloria Torres, who pled guilty to ballot fraud in June and was appointed deputy mayor of San Luis, Arizona, in December.
“It's completely ridiculous, but it's also scary for our country that we have qualified candidates running.” [on] “It's a very popular ticket and they are trying to take him away from the American people just as they are taking the decision away from us,” she added.
Luke went on to say that Americans can no longer take Biden's warnings about “threats to democracy” “seriously” and that the president's attempts to portray himself as an opponent of Trump are He said it was no longer enough.

“The reality is that the American people are watching him send FBI agents to families' homes to arrest them and chase down grandmothers who just peacefully walked through the Capitol on January 6th. .No one can take what he says seriously. The threat to democracy isn't Trump or the MAGA Republicans — what does that mean anymore?'' Luke said. “MAGA Republicans are just a blanket statement for anyone who doesn't support far-left ideology like making kids transgender or putting cathode ray tubes in every school district.”
“It's not like you can look at Biden and say, 'Oh, this guy is in charge, and I can be really proud of the president we have here.' People were voting for Biden as a kind of anti-Trump position, but now they're poorer, more stressed, exhausted, and feel burdened by the Democratic Party, so they're voting Biden out of Trump's mess. I wouldn't think of him as a savior. In fact, they look at President Trump and say, “Wait, maybe he wasn't that messed up.” [under] He, it might actually have been pretty good,” she continued.
The Colorado Supreme Court removed Trump from the state's primary ballot on December 19, and Maine's secretary of state did the same the following week. Trump has appealed both rulings to the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed to take up the Colorado case on Friday. Both states argued that Trump violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which was written to prevent former Confederate congressmen from holding federal office.
Oral argument in the upcoming SCOTUS case is scheduled for February 8th.
