The Federalist CEO Calls For Republicans to Draw Up Lists of Democrats to ‘Put in Prison’ After Trump Verdict
Sean Davis, the CEO and co-founder of the the right-wing website The Federalist, called on Republicans to draw up lists of Democrats to “put in prison” in a social media post reacting to Donald Trump’s conviction on Thursday evening.
“In 2016, the presidential race was decided based on candidates releasing lists of potential Supreme Court nominees,” wrote Davis. “In 2024, I want to see lists of which Democrat officials are going to be put in prison.”
“This is what happens when you cross the Rubicon,” he added.

“If you are a state AG/prosecutor with original criminal jurisdiction, you had better be drafting up charges, indictments, and warrants for every Democrat official involved in this insane, treasonous attack on our entire constitutional republic,” he mused in another post.
While Davis is now an ardent supporter of the former president, he didn’t always see it this way. In 2016, Davis was outspoken in his opposition to Trump, criticizing him for promising to pay the legal fees of supporters who attacked protesters and his false claims of voter fraud, as well as calling on voters to support John Kasich in the Ohio primary.
“Frederick Douglass wrote that three boxes were essential to American liberty: the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box. Elections, rule of law, and self-defense were what protected our freedoms,” declared Davis in another post reacting to the verdict. “Democrats stole the 2020 election, and then they ran a Soviet show trial with a rigged jury to throw their top political opponent in prison in 2024. Understand what they’re coming for next, and why.”
