Mel Brooks' prophetic warning
CNN
There's plenty to be uneasy about this Halloween. Commentators called out a number of reasons to be "be very afraid," the tagline for the 1986 movie 'The Fly.' Last week, a man stood up at a right-wing youth activist rally to ask, in effect, whether it's time to shoot the winners when Republicans lose elections. A US senator defended a man who gave a Nazi salute as a protest at a school board meeting. And one Republican member of the House tried to justify the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
"Be very afraid."
The judge who oversaw Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial in New York on Friday informed the former president’s defense team and prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney’s office that a comment was posted on the New York State Unified Court Systems’ public Facebook page last week by a poster who claimed to be a cousin of a juror, saying that Trump would be convicted.
