The Philadelphia D.A. said: "Anybody who thinks it’s time to play militia, F around and find out.

"Anybody who thinks it’s time to insult, to deride, to mistreat, to threaten people, F around and find out.

"We do have the cuffs, we do have the jail cells, we do have the Philly juries and we have the state prisons.

"So if you’re going to try to turn an election into some form of coercion, if you’re going to try to bully people, bully votes or voters, you’re going to try to erase votes, you’re going to try any of that nonsense, we’re not playing. F around and find out. That’s what we’re going to do."

Meanwhile, CNN's Holmes Lybrand reported the Philadelphia Police Department was unaware of what law enforcement presence Trump was referring to in his post.

Daniel Dale posted on X: "From colleague @holmeslybrand: The Philadelphia Police Department told CNN they were not aware what Trump was referring to and did not know of any issues with voting that required a law enforcement response."

Critics and political pundits have warned for weeks of the possibility of Trump refusing to accept or challenge the results of the presidential election should Kamala Harris win by pushing false claims of voter fraud and election interference, particularly in swing states.
