We begin with two pieces of Breaking News tonight. The first, weve just learned, of charges in texas connected with alleged threats against judge chutkan, obviously presiding over the 2020 Election Subversion Trial of the former president. According to the court filing, the woman who lives in alvin, texas left a threatening, racist, bigoted voice mail for judge chutkan on august 5th. Allegedly saying if trump doesnt get elected, quote, were coming to kill you, tread lightly. And then a curse. She allegedly continued, quote, youll be targeted personally
read the lgbt community. this is not a surprise , obviously, given we don t know if she was listening directly to the former president. certainly, he has put her name, that judges name, front and center. this is what happens. this is exactly the danger and the rhetoric. donald trump has spent the last week or so attacking the judge over an over. jeff duncan over and over. and we ve seen it, how many times do we need to see this story? people see what he says, people act on what he says. of course, january 6th. the day after, there was a search of mar-a-lago, a guy stormed the fbi office in ohio and got shot and killed. good work by the feds to act very quickly here to swear out this warrant. charging this person with intimidation and threats against the federal judge. someone has to step up here. it has to be the prosecutors. they ve already let donald trump say way more about judge chutkan, about themselves, about the witnesses than any
may god bless the memory of those who perished in toledo. and may god protect them. may god protect all of those from texas to ohio. toledo is where danny thomas is from. nobody says he is losing it. nobody says no full deck. look, the fact checkers have checked more than 12,000 of his lies, misstatements, whatever you want to call them. but i actually do think some of this stuff is intentional. remember the whole birther thing. have i people in hawaii checking this out. it wasn t on purpose. it was deliberate. there are things that he does are that are really deliberate and that are harmful and dangerous and that his people act on. i think it s important to call this out. i hate the comparisons. until a comparison fweeb somebody who makes an occasional couple of mistakes.
