FLORIDA MAN DOES NOT LIVE BY ANTI-SEMITISM ALONE (profanity alert):

Trump's brand is spewing abuse, and he certainly has not spared Jack Smith, the Justice Department special counsel handling the investigations into the Mar-a-Lago documents and efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including the January 6th Capitol attack. Trump has called Smith, who is white, "a terrorist," a "THUG," a "fully weaponized monster," a "Mad Dog Psycho," and a "hit man" for Democrats "who may very well turn out to be a criminal."

But the way Trump goes after black and Hispanic prosecutors and judges poses a special menace because of the example he sets--the permission structure he creates--for white nationalism, white supremacy, racism, antisemitism, and immigrant-bashing. There's no forgetting any of it, from "very fine people on both sides," to "[****]hole countries" like Haiti and African nations, to insulting black people as low-IQ, to "stand back and stand by," to dining at Mar-a-Lago with Nick Fuentes, an antisemitic white supremacist.
