A Question No One Ever Addresses [View all]

So many Democrats voting to honor Charlie Kirk has really hit a nerve with me. Like Lisa Murkowski, I read that many Democrats are afraid of death threats against themselves and their families, etc. , and that is why they often go weak knee and go along with the indefensible.

Here is my question: Are making death threats against public officials no longer a crime in America?

If it's the Trump DOJ refusing to prosecute threats against Democrats than this too needs to be screamed to the public as another example of the Trump Party building a fascist state.
