Trump Supporter Arrested For Threatening To Kill Judge Chutkan

A deranged Trump supporter has been arrested after threatening to kill Judge Tanya Chutkan. This is the escalation that we all saw coming as Trump continues to level attacks against the judges and prosecutors that are working on his cases. Incidents like this are unlikely to end on their own as long as Trump continues these attacks, and it is time for the justice system to step in and put an end to it.

Donald Trump's attacks on Judge Tanya Chut can have apparently at inspired, excuse me, at least one of his supporters to call into Chut Ken's office and issue a death threat. A death threat, by the way, not just against the judge, but also for some reason against Democratic representative Sheila Jackson Lee, the woman by the name of Abigail Joe Schrey of Alvin, Texas, has been arrested after the Department of Homeland Security was alerted to a phone message that this woman left that not only used several racial epithets to describe the African-American women, but also threatening to kill them. Let me read this. This is from a, uh, a local, uh, Texas station, W s a nine. Here's what they said. According to the complaint, Shri admitted to Department of Homeland Security investigators. She left the voicemail, which began, Hey, you stupid slave, followed by a racial epithet and then proceeded to threaten to kill anyone who went after Trump. That list included Chut, Ken and Lee, all democrats in Washington, DC and all people in the L G B T Q community investigators wrote, you are in our sights. We want to kill you. Schrey allegedly said at one point later, adding, if Trump doesn't get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you. So tread lightly.

So it's not just the judge, not just Sheila Jackson Lee. It's everyone on the opposite side of the political aisle. If Trump doesn't win, we're coming to kill you. It it life, life in prison. I'm sorry. That's, that's what this individual needs. She is unhinged, in my opinion, she is not well, and she should not be a member of society making threats like this, but this is what this kind of rhetoric does. Donald Trump knows exactly what he is doing when he goes out there and threatens this judge. He doesn't have to be explicit about it because his supporters are not all there. And they take it, they interpret it, they twist it, and then they do radical things, radical things like storming the capitol because he said, we gotta fight like hell. Radical things like threatening to kill everyone because he's being prosecuted for things he did. This is like, and, and I know that phrase cult gets thrown around all the time with the MAGA freaks. I use it a lot, but that's because it is, this isn't normal behavior. A a normal rational person, even the most partisan of people out there, is not gonna pick up a phone and call somebody and say, I'm gonna kill you because you're going after my favorite politician, my favorite human being. That's the kind of person that needs round

The clock psychiatric care. And I hope that this woman gets that, okay? I do not wanna see her just thrown into a jail cell and forgotten about. These people need help, and we do as a society, have to get them that help. Locking them away isn't enough, because if we don't fix what's wrong, when they come out of there, guess what's still there? Those homicidal tendencies. We need true rehabilitation. And if that doesn't happen, if she cannot be rehabilitated, then she should not be released. Plain and simple. But that threat I just read to you as I said it, it's not just against the judge, it's not just against, you know, a, a representative Sheila Jackson Lee, she specifically mentions the L G B T Q community, which as far as I've seen, they have not had a concerted effort, uh, to take down Trump. So that's just a little bit of homophobia, homophobia tossed in for the hell of it. These people are sick, and this is going to continue to happen as long as Donald Trump continues to run his mouth. It is now incumbent upon these judges. Any judge, I don't care which judge it is, but one of them has to shut this guy up because his supporters are ready to kill for him.
