Eric Trump's threats to Rachel Maddow spread like wildfire. Less than 24 hours after Eric posted his tweet, former Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz hosted a livestream on Rumble. He shared that he'd had a conversation with Eric in which he explained Maddow's point. He also relayed a part of their conversation about Scott McKay, saying, "A guy with views like this should not be anywhere near your father's hotel, anywhere near — anything having to do with the Republicans or the Trump family or anybody who's running for president. He is a Nazi."

Dershowitz claimed that Eric promised to take his advice "under consideration." The lawyer further shared that Eric reached out to him the next morning via a text message, relaying that he would take the advice and have the speakers taken off the event. Eric's message also included a promise that they would not be allowed on Trump family property. However, Eric did not apologize to Maddow.
