Former Arkansas Governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee speculated that 2024 may be “the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets” if Donald Trump’s legal troubles prevent him from returning to the White House on the September 2 episode of his show on Trinity Broadcasting Network.

In a clip flagged by the progressive media watchdog Right Wing Watch, Huckabee asked “Do you know how political opponents to those in power are dealt with in Third World dictatorships, banana republics and communist regimes?” before answering his own question.

“Well, it’s simple,” continued Huckabee.
