Since 2008, End Times radio host Rick Wiles has maintained that bloodshed is on the horizon as a result of President Obama’s plan to drive the country into civil war.

On his Friday show, Wiles pointed to a quote from Sen. Tom Harkin about how he believes the extreme rhetoric and polarizing tactics of far-right Republicans in Congress has brought the US to a point “every bit as dangerous as the break-up of the Union before the Civil War” as evidence that he was right all along.

“I said in 2008 and 2009 that Mr. Obama’s agenda will be to start a civil war and I’m going to be proved right on this issue,” Wiles said. “This is his assignment: divide the country; split the country apart; bring the country to blows; start a civil war.”
