2024/INVESTIGATIONS/RACISM: “Trump alleged during a rally in Texas over the weekend that Black prosecutors investigating him are ‘racist,’ and he is again flirting with mob violence, calling for mass protests if they do anything he deems to be ‘wrong or illegal.’

And after teasing a 2024 run — ‘to take back that beautiful, beautiful house that happens to be white’ — he said one of his actions as president could be to pardon those convicted as a result of their actions during last year’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. More than 750 people and counting have been charged with crimes.”
