The group’s president, Kevin D. Roberts, made the comments in an interview on “The War Room,” the Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon’s show on the network Real America’s Voice.

Mr. Roberts was discussing the Supreme Court’s ruling on Monday that presidents have substantial immunity from prosecution for what they do in office, a ruling that upended the criminal case against former President Donald J. Trump for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and that removes a potential barrier to the most radical elements of his second-term agenda if he is elected again.

“We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday, and in spite of all of the injustice — which of course friends and audience of this show, of our friend Steve, know — we are going to prevail,” Mr. Roberts said, alluding to Mr. Bannon’s imprisonment.

He went on to say that “the radical left” was “apoplectic” because “our side is winning” and said, “And so I come full circle in this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

    “Don’t fight back politically or we’ll kill you.”

    Awesome! Totally reasonable and sane thing to say. I’m just hoping my country (Canada) can stay relatively unaffected by the brainrot that led to Project 2025.

    I don’t know how resilient we will be against rising fascism considering the high cost of living and the recent grocery price increases.

    This is a seditious threat that justifies preemptively striking in self-defense.

      It’s a cold calculus but letting them kill someone first means the army has the moral and narrative high ground when the Army Rangers black bag these guys at 3 in the morning.

    Headline should read, Heritage Foundation threatens bloodshed.

    This is like reporting that a mob boss said it’d be terrible if something happened to your family.
