A former White House staffer said she is definitely worried after Donald Trump called on supporters this the weekend to protest his possible indictment.

In several all-caps screeds on his social media platform Saturday, the former president said he expected to be arrested on Tuesday at the direction of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Braggs office. Bragg has been investigating Trumps role in a hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016.

Protest, take our nation back, Trump told his followers. In another post, he said that evil & sinister people were killing our nation as we sit back and watch.

We must save America! Protest, protest, protest!!! he wrote.

Sarah Matthews, who was deputy White House press secretary during the Trump administration, was asked during an appearance Tuesday on CNN if she was worried about the former presidents rhetoric.

Definitely worried, said Matthews, who resigned from the Trump administration on the day of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. I think it goes to show hes learned nothing in the aftermath of Jan. 6. The rhetoric he was using was similar to the rhetoric he used around Jan. 6. I think in his Truth Social post he said that they needed to protest to take back our nation.
