Wisconsin Justice: Officials Must Condemn Threats or Risk Losing Democracy
- A Wisconsin Supreme Court justice says officials must speak out about threats or "lose the battle" for democracy.
- Justice Jill Karofsky told the Washington Post officials staying silent empowers "insurrectionists."
- Threats have targeted the Wisconsin Supreme Court after rulings like upholding Biden's 2020 win.
- Some threats have been antisemitic in nature; Karofsky thinks they aim to improperly sway rulings.
- Karofsky is "really worried" the threats could lead to violence and takes them seriously.
