A Republican lawyer believed to be in the running to become Donald Trump’s attorney general has said he wants to drag the “dead political bodies” of Democrats through the streets and “burn” them in a graphic social media post.

Mike Davis, a former Supreme Court clerk and Senate aide, shared the violent post on X on Nov. 6, shortly after Trump surpassed the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.

“Here’s my current mood: I’m going to drag their dead political bodies through the streets, burn them and throw them off the wall,” Davis said.

“(Legal, political and economic, of course),” he added.

“F***ing entity… We have the votes. And they tried to kill Trump,” he said in another blast postreferring to Democrats.

Trump has privately floated Davis’ name as Attorney General, according to Washington Post, and publicly praised Davis in October when he tapped him for a top job in his second administration.

“The founder or the president of the Article III project, this guy is tough as hell,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Aurora, Colorado. “We want him in a very high capacity.”

GOP fundraiser Caroline Wren told Political in a profile piece on Davis, that Trump is a fan of the GOP attorney and that other Republican donors and senators “drool” over his regular appearances on Steve Bannon’s War room podcast.

“If he’s not the attorney general, he’s going to play some kind of role,” she told the paper.

said Donald Trump Jr Political in a statement at the time that Davis was “exactly the type of fighter” he would want involved in his father’s second administration.

In the same profile, author Adam Wren wrote that he witnessed Don Jr telling Davis at the Republican National Convention, “I want you to be my father’s attorney general for all four years.”

Davis said, according to Wren, that he would give Trump three weeks “as his viceroy.”

An adviser later reportedly told Wren that Don Jr. “wasn’t serious” about the job offer.

Davis is one of Trump’s biggest defenders on social media and has said he would help the president-elect “appoint even more bold and fearless judges” in his second term. He also praised Trump for “transforming” the Supreme Court.

Prior to his inflammatory post on X, Davis has come under fire for other controversial “jokes” about the press, for threatening to “cage children” and for promising to throw rivals into the “gulag.”

In one conversation with right-wing commentator and YouTuber Benny Johnson last year, he explained what he would do if he were theoretically made acting attorney general for three weeks.

“During my three-week reign of terror as Trump’s acting attorney general, before I’m run out of town with my Trump pardon, I will rain hell on Washington, DC,” he said.

“We put children in cages. It will be glorious.”
