After news broke of Colorado’s high court ruling to keep Trump off the ballot, Trump posted to Truth Social.
“What a shame for our country,” Trump’s post read.
Under his post, hundreds of comments surfaced, with some of them being violent in nature.
Four of the seven justices ruled Trump is ineligible to serve as president based on the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause. Those four justices are now receiving death threats. The threats include calls for the justices to be killed by gunfire, hangings and bombs.
Some comments on the post read “Kill judges. Behead judges.” Other graphic language has also been found online referring to Colorado’s bench.
Some users have posted the justices’ phone numbers, emails, and office building addresses online. While the practice isn’t considered doxxing since the information is all public given they hold public office, it has raised concerns.
The focus will now be on the U.S. Supreme Court, as the justices’ interpretation of the 14th Amendment will be the deciding factor on whether Trump’s name remains barred from the ballot.
