31% : The post claimed Trump had a "moral imperative" to ensure election security and called for a military-run re-vote in key battleground states where he had challenged the results.
31% : Trump repeatedly reposted articles Ingrassia wrote for the far-right conspiracy website Gateway Pundit on his Truth Social page.
30% : The "Right on Point" podcast's social media similarly demanded purges of so-called "traitors" from the Republican Party, including then-Attorney General Bill Barr in December 2020, whom the podcast labeled a "Bush-affiliated neocon of the Washington swamp," - and whom Ingrassia has also labeled a "traitor" and disparaged as being part of the Washington, DC, "swamp." Four days after the Gorka tweet, Ingrassia shared a blog post from his podcast that argued for the "martial law option" to keep Trump in power, urging him to use emergency powers to delay Joe Biden's inauguration.
29% : The podcast's Twitter account - which Ingrassia linked to episode descriptions, his Twitter, and a Parler account he made in December 2020 - sent tweets in December 2020 calling for "secession" if court cases meant to keep Trump in office failed and numerous tweets calling to "support martial law.
29% : In the days leading up to the Capitol riot, Ingrassia publicly mocked conservatives who opposed violent measures to keep Trump in power.
13% : The Trump administration's new point man for dealings with the Department of Homeland Security is a former far-right podcast host and election denier who once shared an article calling for "martial law" to keep Donald Trump in office following his loss in the 2020 election.
