Area state senator Lang walks back ‘civil war’ threat if Trump loses election

Ohio state Sen. George Lang, R-West Chester, walked back comments he made today warning of “civil war” if Donald Trump and running mate Sen. JD Vance lose the presidential election in November.

“Remarks I made earlier today at a rally in Middletown do not accurately reflect my views,” Lang said in a post on X. “I regret the divisive remarks I made in the excitement of the moment on stage.”

“Especially in light of the assassination attempt on President Trump last week, we should all be mindful of what is said at political events, myself included.” Lang wrote.

Lang made the controversial comments while warming up the crowd before Vance addressed a crowd at Middletown High School, Vance’s first return to the area since the Middletown native was nominated to run for VP by the Republican Party.

“We are in the fight for the soul of our nation,” Lang told the crowd.

“We are in a fight for our kids and our grandkids, a fight that we can never imagine,” Lang said. “I believe wholeheartedly Donald Trump and Butler County’s JD Vance are the last chance to save our country politically. I’m afraid if we lose this one it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved. It’s the greatest experiment in the history of mankind. And if we come down to a civil war, I’m glad we got people like … the Bikers for Trump in our side.”
