During his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Florida on Saturday night, former President Donald Trump claimed that the most dangerous people in the United States are within the country.
As grave as the dangers are abroad, it is the destruction within that spells doom.
People from within are the most dangerous. These people must hate our country because they make us weak.
During his speech, Trump used inflammatory language and encouraged his supporters to stand up to fascists.
They teach your children to hate your parents while calling you a racist, Trump said.
They use big tech to block you. The deep state is used to spy on you. The intelligence agencies frame you. They use the media to make you look bad. The legal system is used to prosecute you. It's a persecution. He said that they use rigged elections to destroy you and ruin your life.
During his nearly hour-and-a-half long speech, the former president railed against Democrats and Republicans, while praising Russian President Putin, who on Thursday launched an all-out invasion.
He said that he will run for president again. We will do it again.
Trump said that the real problems were domestic, while speaking about the Biden administration's foreign policy.
He baselessly claimed that the US was being poisoned by illegal aliens and that jails from around the world were being put into our country.
We are losing our country no different than if we had lost a war, according to Trump.
Trump made fun of Democrats for their concerns over climate change and claimed that four-year-olds should be able to pick their own genders.
He repeated baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged and complained about investigations into his company's finances and his behavior in relation to the Capitol riot.
He told the crowd that they were continuing their evil persecution of him, his family, his staff, and his supporters.
Trump has previously tried to paint the investigations into him as direct attacks on his supporters, and has called for mass protests if prosecutors investigate him.
