Trump’s potential attorney general threatens to put a gay male journalist in women’s prison

A lawyer who could become Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general has threatened to indict, arrest, and deport British-American MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan for speaking out against him.

A recent segment from Hasan detailed the people Trump would likely select for the Cabinet should he win the 2024 presidential election. Hasan wanted to show viewers what a second term presidency for Trump would look like “without any adults in the room.”

He was indicted for having oral and anal sex with a 14-year-old boy.

Among the possible cabinet members was Mike Davis for attorney general. Hasan noted many folks close to Trump, including Donald Trump Jr. and Steve Bannon, are pitching Davis for the role.

He added, “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.'”

That segment, he explained, led to the first time Davis threatened him.

“It appears I may have struck a nerve,” he said. “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 then responded again to Hasan’s reporting, this time escalating his threats.

Davis wrote on X that Hasan “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.”

He then slipped in a homophobic comment about gay journalist and former RNC spokesperson Tim Miller: “But I’ll put him in the women’s cell block, with [Miller]. So these whiny leftists don’t get beat up as often.”

I already have his spot picked out in the DC gulag.

But I’ll put him in the women’s cell block, with @Timodc.

Hasan reposted Davis’s threat, 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.”

Davis has joked that Trump would have to pardon him after the “reign of terror” he plans to unleash on Washington, D.C. He has also voiced plans to pardon the January 6 insurrectionists and to deport millions of people.

“We’re gonna deport a lot of people, 10 million people and growing — anchor babies, their parents, their grandparents,” Davis said on The Benny Johnson Show, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. “We’re gonna put kids in cages. It’s gonna be glorious. We’re gonna detain a lot of people in the D.C. gulag and Gitmo.”

Inquirer columnist Will Bunch pointed out that Davis is exaggerating but emphasized that his words “should not be taken literally, but seriously.”

“This ambitious right-wing lawyer may or may not be a true believer but he knows how to audition for Trump, and it’s working,” Bunch noted.

Hasan’s segment on Trump’s potential cabinet picks also mentioned the former president is considering the virulently anti-LGBTQ+ former Fox News host Tucker Carlson as his vice presidential running mate.
