Lawyer Touted as Trump’s Next Attorney General Threatens to Arrest and ‘Deport’ MSNBC Host in Bigoted Screed

Mike Davis, a prominent MAGA lawyer and pundit, threatened online Monday to jail and deport MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan if former President Donald Trump is reelected and gives him a top job in his administration – as he is widely expected to do.

Davis made the shocking threat in reply to a segment from Hasan’s weekend show in which the cable news host listed some of the people tipped to be under consideration for roles in another Trump administration.

“For weeks, we’ve been warning you on this show about the dangers of a second Trump term. The former president, after all, has promised retribution, pledged to round up protesters with the military, and suggested using the Justice Department to go after his political enemies. These are plans that should terrify each and every single one of us. But tonight, I want to pull back the curtain and take a look at who could be tasked with carrying out Trump’s radical agenda come 2025,” Hasan said on his show before diving into the likes of Tucker Carlson, Michael Flynn, and Davis.

“Now let’s move on to a man a lot of people may not have heard of yet, Mike Davis,” Hasan said, adding:

He’s the man many in Trump’s inner circle, including his own son, Don Junior, and Steve Bannon, are pitching to be the country’s next possible attorney general. Earlier this week, over on my Peacock show, I dove deep into the conservative lawyer’s record from Davis’s threats to send journalists to the D.C. gulag to his repeated calls on social media for his followers to, quote, “arm up against the violent Black underclass.”

And it appears I may have struck a nerve. Davis has since responded to my monologue from earlier this week, pledging to indict me when he’s AG. For what? I’m not sure. But he’s also threatened to send me to the D.C. gulag. That’s a totally normal, non-fascistic response from a man eyeing to become the nation’s chief law enforcement officer.

Davis shared the clip and wrote on Twitter, “Trump’s Dream Team. @mehdirhasan is now on my Lists 2 (indict), 4 (detain), 6 (denaturalize), and 3 (deport). I already have his spot picked out in the DC gulag. But I’ll put him in the women’s cell block, with @Timodc. So these whiny leftists don’t get beat up as often.”

Davis’s tweet also included a homophobic jab at Tim Miller, an openly gay journalist and former spokesperson for the RNC. Hasan replied to Davis threatening to put him in the “DC gulag,” writing, “Nothing to see here, just the former Gorsuch law clerk touted as Trump’s next attorney-general, threatening to indict, detain, & deport me (for what?) & put Tim Miller, who is gay, in a women’s prison.”

“Nothing at all unconstitutional, fascistic, or bigoted about any of this,” Hasan sarcastically concluded.
