He spoke out in support of Vance and Donald Trump’s ticket.
“We are in the fight for the soul of our nation,” Lang said. “We are in a fight for our kids and our grandkids, a fight we could never imagine.”

“I believe wholeheartedly Donald Trump and Butler County’s J.D. Vance are the last chance to save our country politically. I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved,” Lang said.
Lang later posted to X, saying he regrets his “divisive remarks.”
