It is suspicious.
It may have just been a coincidence because there are a lot of people who are getting death threats around the country right now, whether they be pro-Trump or anti-Trump.
And on occasion, people's houses burned down.
So you could have just had a situation where you had a judge who was adversarial to Trump who happened to have this happen to her.
And it's a tragic story no matter what.
But of course, we want to
find out whether there was foul play, because this could be an example of political violence.
And I'm not suggesting that like anyone's dragging their feet on this, but we don't know at this point if there was foul play.
And we may not find out if there was foul play until weeks from now, at which point people will have moved on from the story.
Maybe there will be some attention paid to it, but the headlines will long have passed.
So it could be one of those situations where
When there's an example of a right winger being the victim of political violence, people are able to pounce on it right away, say this was definitely political, this is the fault of the left.
Whereas if there's an example of someone who is anti-Trump becoming the victim in some situation, you may not find that out until later that it was politically motivated.
And so...
Trump supporters are going to be less likely to be labeled with that, like their violence, their attacking people sort of rhetoric that we're hearing on the left.
Well, I would argue that even if they did definitively find out that this was someone who was angry with the judge over politics, that this wouldn't be all that damaging for the Trump administration because there have already been plenty of examples of political violence against Republicans.
people on the left and people who are anti-Trump.
And these Trump supporters don't seem to care all that much.
They don't think it's that big of a threat.
Like we had, of course, the attack on Nancy Pelosi's home that led to Paul Pelosi getting severely injured.
