We Want to Kill You
Donald Trump's use of a word—that rhymes with the N-word—to attack black prosecutors is trending on social media with dangerous results.
Trump is using disgusting racial slurs and threats of violence to intimidate judges, prosecutors, and even potential jurors in his four criminal cases. Right wing websites that have repeated Trump's racist slurs have exploded with threats of violence. The FBI arrested a Texas woman who threatened to murder the judge overseeing Trump's federal Jan. 6 indictment calling her a "slave," and threatening, “you are in our sights, we want to kill you.”

As the legal pressure on Donald Trump intensifies, so has the degree of invective he has leveled as prosecutors, judges, and political opponents, and some supporters of Trump appear to be following his lead.
