Two civil rights organizations are launching a campaign to pressure state governments to disqualify former President Trump from appearing on ballots in 2024.

The groups say secretaries of state are empowered by the 14th amendment to bar Trump from running for office because of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection.

Starting Sunday, Mi Familia Vota and Free Speech for People will stage a week of rallies and banner drops outside the offices of the secretaries of state of California, Oregon, Colorado and Georgia.

    As we all know, he didn’t attend the insurrection himself (he wanted to go but was denied by his driver, who he then attempted to choke). So the “aid or comfort” bit is the only relevant part. He never aided the traitors (you can hear traitors whine that Trump never pardoned them). Did he comfort them?

    “We love you.”

    Probably not enough for this to stick.
