Newsmax airs segment calling for civil war between South and Biden administration

Segment aired after Supreme Court ruling which allowed Border Patrol agents to resume cutting razor wire that Texas installed on the US-Mexico border

Newsmax has come under fire after airing a segment in which the channel’s host Carl Higbie and Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt discussed a potential “force-on-force” conflict between the South and the Biden Administration.

The right-wing cable channel featured the pair discussing a recent Supreme Court ruling which allowed Border Patrol agents to resume cutting razor wire that Texas installed on the US-Mexico border to deter migrants from entering the US illegally.

There are currently no active plans for the President to federalise the Texas National Guard, but in an alarming segment, Higbie and Mr Stitt suggested that doing so could lead to a civil war.

“Let’s say this showdown—I mean, that’s what it is. It’s a showdown. It’s a showdown of power and loyalties and constitutionality. Let’s say [Biden] does that,” the Newsmax host theorised. “How many people say, ‘No. You know what? Screw you, Biden administration.’ And how many people stay and fight with Texas versus the federal things, and does that put us on course for a force-on-force conflict?” he asked Governor Stitt.

Mr Stitt is not the only person who has openly called for civil war in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling.

On Thursday, Donald Trump called upon “all willing States to deploy their guards to Texas to prevent the entry of Illegals, and to remove them back across the Border.”
