‘The End Is Near!’ MSNBC Analyst Says Trump Will Incite His ‘Crazy Followers’ To Violence Through ‘Stochastic Terrorism’

NBC News National Security Contributor Frank Figliuzzi told SiriusXM host Dean Obeidallah that as former President Donald Trump feels “the end is near,” he will incite his “crazy followers” to violence like a desperate cult leader.

On Thursday’s edition of The Dean Obeidallah Show, the host talked with Figliuzzi about the lengths to which Trump will go in order to win, but Figliuzzi flipped it around to compare Trump to a boxed-in doomsday cult leader like David Koresh:

DEAN OBEIDALLAH: In your heart, what are your concerns about what he might do? To at least win — somehow — in any way?

FRANK FIGLIUZZI: Yeah, I you know that I’ve drawn many, many comparisons between the MAGA movement and the cult. And I truly increasingly believe that’s what we’re looking at. So if that’s true, let’s look toward cult research as to what a cult leader does when the end is near. And it’s not the end that he wants.

And so people who research and study cults call it “forcing the end,” forcing the end, meaning when things look like they’re not going to turn out.

I’ll point to the Branch Davidians at Waco, Texas and David Koresh. You’re surrounded, the tanks are out there. Things aren’t looking good. You told your cultists that things were going to work out. We’re all going to have — and, you make things happen and, and of course, the cult in Waco it ended in flames. He literally instructed his followers to light on fire the corners of the buildings. You can see this on the heat-seeking imagery happening.

Yeah. Can Trump burn the place down? Figuratively? Yes. Will he instruct, directly or indirectly, his crazy followers, some of them, to, or incite them through stochastic terrorism, to commit violence? Sure.

Can law enforcement get ahead of that? No, no! They’re doing their best, scrambling within the laws and the parameters to try and monitor known violent extremists.

But any notion that the FBI is watching everybody’s correspondence is absolutely absurd. Can’t do it legally. They can’t do it resource-wise. So, a small cell, an actor, that actor here, there, can really, really do some damage. And I think Trump, will show no hesitation in lighting the place on fire. Figuratively.
