Georgia State Sen. Colton Moore believes a civil war could break out over the prosecution of Donald Trump.
“We’ve got 19 people who are facing the rest of their life in prison because they spoke out against an election,” Moore claimed in a recent interview with Steve Bannon. Moore said he’d told a colleague, “we’ve got to put our heads together and figure this out” and take action, “because if we don’t, our constituencies are going to be fighting in the streets.”
“Do you want a civil war? I don’t want a civil war. I don’t want to have to draw my rifle,” he said. “I want to make this problem go away with my legislative means of doing so.”
Since Trump’s indictment in Georgia, Moore has been calling for authorities to defund District Attorney, Fani Willis. “America is under attack. I’m not going to sit back and watch as radical left prosecutors politically target political opponents,” the senator wrote on X (formerly Twitter) earlier this month. “We must strip all funding and, if appropriate, impeach Fani Willis.”
Trump is one of 19 defendants charged by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in a sweeping racketeering indictment for their alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Trump has denied any illegal wrongdoing.
Trump was processed and had a mug shot taken last week before he was released. The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office released Trump’s mug shot which was taken shortly after he turned himself in to authorities. Trump is the first former U.S. president to have his mug shot taken.
The Trump campaign, since last week, has been using the mug shot from his election interference indictment to fundraise after the campaign quickly posted the image on his campaign website with a call to donate after his mug shot was released.

“Today, at the notoriously violent jail in Fulton County, Georgia, I was ARRESTED despite having committed NO CRIME,” the campaign wrote in the fundraising message, claiming that his legal battles are “election interference.”
“But today, I walked into the lion’s den with one simple message on behalf of our entire movement: I WILL NEVER SURRENDER OUR MISSION TO SAVE AMERICA,” the fundraising message continued.
