Trump's False Claims and Criminal Investigations: A Perilous Situation.
TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump posted an all-caps rant on Truth Social, accusing Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg of being a "Soros backed animal" and brushing off calls for his supporters to remain peaceful as he faces a potential indictment. Trump's incendiary rhetoric over the last few days is reminiscent of the run-up to the Capitol riot. His accusation that Bragg is backed by George Soros is a somewhat tenuous charge that, to a core audience, will be heard as an anti-Semitic dog whistle.
