Allies of President Donald Trump are turning on the pro-Trump lawyer L. Lin Wood after he tweeted about executing Vice President Mike Pence and arresting Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
On Friday night, Wood posted a series of unhinged tweets blaming "THE REPUBLICANS" for stealing the 2020 election from Trump, adding: "When arrests for treason begin, put Chief Justice John Roberts, VP Mike Pence, & Mitch McConnell at top of list."
In separate tweets, Wood said that the military should arrest those Republican figures and that Pence should "face execution by firing squad," adding: "He is a coward & will sing like a bird & confess ALL."
Neither Pence, Roberts, McConnell, nor Trump have commented on Wood's tweets, but two prominent allies of the president have attacked Wood for his remarks.
Jenna Ellis, a lawyer for the Trump campaign, tweeted on Friday night: "To be clear: I do not support the statements from Attorney Lin Wood. I support the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution."
Nicholas Sandmann, the pro-Trump high school student who sued multiple media outlets, also tweeted Friday: "I'm sorry but what the hell."
Wood had represented Sandmann in his defamation lawsuit against The Washington Post and other outlets in February 2019 over their coverage of a video that showed him face-to-face with a Native American activist earlier that year.
When challenged on his comments against Wood, Sandmann tweeted on Saturday: "True loyalty involves criticism when necessary."
On Friday night, Wood appeared to respond to the comments against him, saying: "The tweets about my insanity are at an all time high this morning ... No worries. I am fine. The attacks do not concern me."
He doubled down on his remarks against Pence over the weekend, saying that Pence "should reject the fraud & then resign," apparently referring to the baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump due to widespread voter fraud.
Early Sunday morning, Wood also posted a photo of him with four dogs, saying "I love" America, Trump, the recently-pardoned Michael Flynn, and the conspiracy-theorist lawyer Sidney Powell.
