Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
Tackle
Trump
and
let
him
pretend
he’s
president
and
publicly
report
that
he’s
going
through
a
health
issue,
and
Vance
take
over.
It
literally
needs
to
be
something
like
that.
It’s
that
bad.
—
Robert
Barnes,
the
lawyer
who
represented
conspiracy
theorist
Alex
Jones
in
a
defamation
case
filed
by
the
families
of
Sandy
Hook
Elementary
School
shooting
victims,
in
comments
given
during
an
appearance
on
a
recent
episode
of The
Alex
Jones
Show,
concerning
a
way
to
remove
Donald
Trump
from
office,
outside
of
invoking
the
25th
Amendment.
“You’ve
never
called
for
an
internal
coup
before,”
Jones
said,
to
which
Barnes
replied,
“[T]hat’s
how
dangerous
this
is.
That’s
how
risky
it
is
for
the
whole
world.”
