Donald Trumpās supporters unleashed a wave of death threats and antisemitic and homophobic messages to the judge overseeing his fraud trial, as well as his chief clerk, according to a state court filing this week.
A filing to support New York Justice Arthur Engoronās opposition to a freeze on a gag order in the case includes a statement from the courtās top security official, who has collected āhundreds of threats, disparaging and harassing comments and antisemitic messagesā that followed the former presidentās harassment.
Federal prosecutors ā who are seeking a separate gag order ā shared those threats with the federal appeals court judges who will decide whether Mr Trump should be gagged in his election interference case.
But on Friday, the former presidentās attorneys dismissed those threats as āirrelevantā.
Agree with most of this.
Can we collectively stop pinning this stuff on mental illness though?
Maybe I watch too many interviews of Trump supporters talking, or listen to them at work. They say crazy things and Trump is able to connectāor more accurately, use them. But you are right, there are many who are not crazy and support Trump. They just give a small knowing smile when they hear their fellow supporters doing the crazy talk.
