The Spin
Democratic narrative
This report confirms what we already knew: President Trump is is fueling violence against our judiciary. Law and order is the foundation of our political system, and Trump is willing to utilize his followers to attack institutions that do not bend to his will. These provocations must end before tragedy occurs.
Republican narrative
Trump has every right to be frustrated by the wave of lawfare that has smothered his agenda. At every turn, activist judges have utilized sophistry and obstruction against legal, popular moves. Threats are never acceptable, but calling out judicial overreach is lawful and needed in the face of legal interference.
