The Republican described the American Revolution as 'our first rumble with the Globalists' following Trump's arraignment.
A grand jury indicted Trump on Tuesday on four charges in the Capitol riot probe, which include conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights.
Trump denies all wrongdoing and he has repeatedly criticized the special counsel's probe, claiming it's politically motivated. Following his arraignment on Thursday, Trump told reporters at Ronald Reagan National Airport:"This is a very sad day for America." "And it was also very sad driving through Washington, D.C., and seeing the filth and the decay, and all of the broken buildings and walls, and the graffiti. This is not the place that I left. It's a very sad thing to see it," he said.
"This is a persecution of a political opponent," he went on."This is the persecution of the person that's leading by very, very substantial numbers ... If you can't beat him, you persecute him or you prosecute him. We can't let this happen in America."
