Republicans' Response to Trump's Indictment Raises Concerns of Violence.
TL;DR Summary
High-profile Republican supporters of Donald Trump are using belligerent and conspiracy-laden rhetoric, raising fears that the former president's campaign against his legal troubles could trigger political violence. A recent survey by the University of Chicago's Project on Security & Threats found that 4.4% of the US population believes violence is justified to return Trump to power. The statements from far-right congressmen underscore the alarming way that violent rhetoric has seeped into mainstream US political discourse in the Republican party, especially in the wake of Trump's indictment.
