A Donald Trump delegate from Tennessee is drawing national attention for his involvement in militia groups and statements promoting a violent overthrow of the U.S. government. Mother Jones magazine quotes Riceville delegate M. David Riden as saying, in part, “The Constitution should remain, but the people that are abusing it should be, the polite word is, eliminated. The harsh word is killed. And they're killed by American citizens with weapons. And if people have tanks, assault weapons, if they have bombs — they need to have the weaponry necessary to be able to overthrow the federal government.”
