Political Rhetoric Sparks Concerns of Violence and Disgust Among Opponents

Democrats have criticized former President Trump's recent online post warning of "potential death and destruction" if he is indicted, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calling it "dangerous." Trump's post came amid a wait-and-see week for potential charges being filed against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office. A grand jury in New York is hearing a case about hush money Trump's then-lawyer paid to an adult film actress shortly before the 2016 election. While the expected arrest didn't happen, an indictment in the near future remains possible.
