In play on Christmas song lyrics, NAACP president says all he wants for Christmas is 'Trump in handcuffs'



In a play on the lyrics of a popular Christmas song, NAACP president Derrick Johnson indicated that all he wants for Christmas is for former President Donald Trump to be arrested.

"I don't want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need I don't care about the presents Underneath the Christmas tree," Johnson wrote, copying lyrics from the song "All I Want for Christmas Is You." But he concluded the tweet by declaring, "All I want for Christmas is… Donald Trump in handcuffs."

\u201cI don't want a lot for Christmas\nThere is just one thing I need\nI don't care about the presents\nUnderneath the Christmas tree\n\nAll I want for Christmas is\u2026 Donald Trump in handcuffs.\u201d

In a tweet last month, Johnson claimed that House "Speaker Nancy Pelosi saved the U.S. Capitol and safeguarded our democracy on January 6, 2021." He also tweeted, "History will remember her as one of, if not the most effective Speaker in history."

The House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot announced criminal referrals regarding Trump on Monday, but the Justice Department is not obligated to act on any of the committee's recommendations to go after Trump.

\u201cThe fourth and final statute we invoke for referral is Title 18 Section 2383. This statute applies to anyone, who incites, assists, or engages in insurrection against the United States, and anyone who \u201cgives aid or comfort\u201d to an insurrection.\u201d

The only two Republicans serving on the committee are Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois — both lawmakers are Trump critics who voted in favor of impeaching the then-president last year in the wake of the Jan. 6 episode.

"These folks don't get it that when they come after me, people who love freedom rally around me. It strengthens me. What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Monday. "Americans know that I pushed for 20,000 troops to prevent violence on Jan 6, and that I went on television and told everyone to go home…."

Trump officially announced last month that he is running for president during the 2024 election cycle.

A group of House Democrats is backing legislation meant to bar Trump from ever holding office again.

'What doesn't kill me makes me stronger': Trump responds to Jan. 6 committee's criminal referrals



Former President Donald Trump responded on Monday after the House select committee that investigated the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot announced criminal referrals.

While the panel is recommending that the Justice Department go after Trump, the DOJ is not required to follow the congressional panel's recommendations.

\u201cThe fourth and final statute we invoke for referral is Title 18 Section 2383. This statute applies to anyone, who incites, assists, or engages in insurrection against the United States, and anyone who \u201cgives aid or comfort\u201d to an insurrection.\u201d

Americans know that I pushed for 20,000 troops to prevent violence on Jan 6, and that I went on television and told everyone to go home…." Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The Jan. 6 committee included various Democrats and two GOP lawmakers who have been outspoken Trump critics — those two Republicans, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Liz Cheney of Wyoming, both voted to impeach Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot.

While the House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, episode, Trump was ultimately acquitted when 57 senators voted to convict, a number that fell short of the threshold necessary for conviction — the Senate vote occurred after Trump had already departed from office.

Trump, who served as president from early 2017 through early 2021, lost his 2020 reelection bid to Democrat Joe Biden — the former president announced last month that he will seek the presidency again during the 2024 election cycle.

While Trump remains quite popular among conservatives, he could end up facing challengers during the GOP presidential primary.

A group of House Democrats is backing legislation meant to bar Trump from ever holding office again.
