Juan Williams: Trump’s toxicity fuels fear of violence

Here is the truth from a Florida school board member about being threatened by parents whipped into rage by the Trump echo chamber.

“I don’t reject people coming here and speaking their voice,” Jennifer Jenkins of the Brevard County School Board in Florida said at a recent meeting. “I reject them following my car around. I reject them saying that they’re coming for me, that I need to beg for mercy.”

“I reject [them] going behind my home and brandishing their weapons to my neighbors.”

Jenkins’ first-person testimony pulls the cover off the lies coming from Trump Republicans.

The Trump Party is manufacturing grievances to stir up voters in off-year elections, especially this fall’s race for governor in Virginia.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) even falsely accused the Biden administration of “sending FBI agents to try to silence voting, taxpaying parents, trying to silence them” in a recent interview on Fox News.

It isn’t that Senator Hawley and his fellow members of the GOP are trying to incite more violence.

The awful truth is that they do not care if they do.
