primetime . tonight, joe biden is a threat to democracy. they are weaponizing law enforcement for high level election interference. trump thrown off the ballot in colorado. this is only the beginning. let me see your hands! the boys in blue still under attack. the judge never hate me because i support john. everybody hates trump in this building. it is what it is. colby covington, kari lake, tomi lahren, charney arnold talking politics. plus,. in 1860, the abolitionist movement was rescinded and the proslavery democratic party was in shambles. it was the year abraham lincoln was on the ballot until southern democrats kicked him off the ballot. instead of trying to win an election with persuasion, southern democrats booted lincoln off the ballot in 10 states. but even that wasn t enough. lincoln became the first president ever to be elected with less than 50% of the vote. and then the civil war broke out the next year and abraham lincoln was later assassinated. h
