Former President Donald Trump blasted the recent indictment against him from Fulton County, Georgia, as a form of suppression, saying Republicans cannot let people "get away with it."
"They want to silence you, and they mean silence," Trump said during a Thursday interview with Fox Business's Larry Kudlow on Kudlow. "They are people who have no idea how the world works, and they have no idea the anger they cause."

He said a "tremendous group of people" on both sides see the "disgusting situation" in Georgia, adding that he is "not just talking about Republicans."
Trump quipped at the four criminal cases levied against him since the start of the year: one out of Manhattan, two federal cases, and the recent indictment out of Georgia.
"Cause I have four of them now if you look. This is not even possible. Four, over the last couple of months, and frankly, it discredits everything," Trump said.
"They're all very similar in the sense that there's no basis for them," the former president continued.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing in the cases against him, decrying them as "witch hunts" and politically motivated to disrupt his lead in the GOP presidential primary race. He cited the Presidential Records Act on Thursday, a likely defense that he will use in his federal case for his handling of classified documents.
"And then you look at the suppression: They want to suppress your voice. They don't want you to ever talk about an election. If you talk about an election, they want to put you in jail," Trump said, hinting at both the federal case and Georgia case against him for efforts to overturn the presidential election at the state and federal levels.
However, Trump said he believes his team has the Georgia indictment case "under control." He previously stated that he plans to release a report exonerating him on Monday.
"It's just suppression, and it's just a horrible thing for the country, and it's hurting the country very badly," the former president said.
In Georgia, Trump is charged with violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and conspiring to use fake electors to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. He frequently made baseless arguments that the 2020 election was stolen and that widespread voter fraud made him lose, claims that have since been debunked.

The former president made an appeal to his party over the indictments on Thursday, saying Republicans "can't let them get away with it."
"Republicans have to be tough, Republicans are great in many ways, but they don't fight as hard for this stuff, and they have to get a lot tougher," Trump said. "And if they don't, they're not going to have much of a Republican Party."
