The Spookiest Interview in American Political History

You probably have seen this X post. It’s Ed Markey, the utterly cracked senator from Massachusetts, in an interview with a pair of local reporters in advance of his own Senate race next week. The reporters, GBH News’ Adam Reilly and Boston 25 News’ Kerry Kavanaugh, have also interviewed John Deaton, Markey’s Republican opponent, and Joe Tache, the socialist third-party candidate.

Markey Reveals Color Revolution Plan: Unions & Workers to Shut Down Nation? Senator Markey must have participated in the organized Ed Holder Election War Game Exercises. In a interview conducted today, Senator Ed Markey stated that lawyers were already drafting an emergency case to bring before the U.S. Supreme Court both before and immediately after the election. He added that thousands of lawyers were being prepared for deployment to key polling stations across multiple states. Markey further said preparations needed to include readiness for a national strike on Election Day, with millions of people taking to the streets to protest what he described as an attempted electoral crime. He specifically called for workers, unions, and businesses to shut down in a manner similar to the response in Minneapolis following the deaths of Alex Freddi and Renee Goode. Markey argued that the president was growing increasingly desperate because Republican fortunes had slipped, citing repeated visits to Texas to protect an otherwise safe Senate seat and campaigning in historically safe Republican states such as Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. The Senator predicted that an anticipated large Democratic victory would prompt some Republicans in the House and Senate to distance themselves from the MAGA agenda rather than become “sacrificial lambs.” Markey expressed concern that desperation could lead to the deployment of ICE agents or the military, and he said the public mobilization would demonstrate outrage to the Supreme Court if an emergency petition were filed. This is why voters must choose common sense candidates in this midterm cycle. The modern Jacobins are out for blood, and only a decisive choice at the ballot box can save our republic.

The video in the X post is a little choppy, so I found the entire 29-minute interview on YouTube to make sure that it wasn’t edited to take Markey’s statements out of context.

And it turns out that in substantial part, the edit did preserve Markey’s meaning.
