Newsmax hostĀ Carl HigbieĀ went on a tirade on Friday after former PresidentĀ Donald TrumpĀ was convicted by a Manhattan jury the day before.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was foundĀ guiltyĀ on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to cover up extramarital affairs. Trump was concerned the affairs would come to light and harm his presidential aspirations. The RepublicanĀ freakoutĀ has been swift if not predictable. Despite their outrage and indignation, some conservatives insist that being a convicted felon willĀ help Trumpā€™s chancesĀ of returning to the White House in Novemberā€™s election.

During Fridayā€™s edition ofĀ FrontlineĀ on Newsmax, Higbie demanded congressional Republicans drop everything and go after those involved in Trumpā€™s prosecution.

    Conservatives underestimate how much firepower the left has - they just donā€™t advertise it like itā€™s their personality. Even strongholds like Texas actually have less guns per household than the national average.

      There is a difference between owning guns and being an ammosexual. Let them continue not understanding that. Fine by me.

      I think the chodes that own like 20+ pew pews are all far right. But you canā€™t use 20 at a time, so I guess that wonā€™t help much. Iā€™d put hard money on odds of much more citizens whoā€™ve actually shot someone before as being non-republicans.

        The truth is that Republicans shoot Republicans. Just ask Dick Cheney.

      What I find funny is that they act like a bunch of hicks with guns is going to charge a tank or have a prayers chance against a predator drone. The party of serving your country and small government always seems to forget the military is part of the government.
