"The FBI released new data last week showing that violent crime is down in America, but that hate crimes are up. This is completely at odds with right-wing narratives about the United States, which portrays surging violence in lawless 'Democrat-run' cities. Instead, the data show a different picture: violence is down, except against the very social groups that are targeted by right-wing tropes and the MAGA movement."

Well, well: guess who tipped off the FBI that Craig Robertson in Utah was making violent threats against Alvin Bragg, President Biden, V-P Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland and others?

It all began with Trump's Truth Social notifying the FBI in March about the threats against Bragg. Then the Secret Service alerted the FBI to the threats.

As Kate Riga notes, right wingers want to make Robertson a martyr.
