Mob boss Trump's threats to mobilize his mob are escalating

"Shortly after the 2016 election, I spoke with a Republican friend who had retired from the Senate years before. I asked him why so many Republican lawmakers remained silent in the face of Trump’s vile lies and bigotry.

After a pause, he said, “Some of his supporters are nuts, and they have guns.”

I laughed, thinking he was joking. He was dead serious. “They’re a dangerous mob, and Trump’s the mob boss,” he added.

I remember thinking he should call them out and denounce their threats of violence, as well as Trump. But I didn’t feel I had a right to ask him to put himself and his family in harm’s way".
