Fanone was abducted by the mob on Jan. 6 and nearly killed when a MAGA-hatted rioter who believed Trump’s lies about the 2020 election drove a stun gun into his neck.
Michael Fanone, a former police officer who was nearly killed by a mob during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, spoke outside the courthouse during closing arguments in Donald Trump’s hush money trial Tuesday, calling Trump “an authoritarian” with “a violence fetish.”
Hours later, Fanone’s mother was “swatted” at her home in Virginia.
On Tuesday, a fake “manifesto” attributed to Fanone was sent to a number of email addresses, including some associated with a high school that Fanone attended for a year more than two decades ago. The “manifesto,” viewed by NBC News, claimed that the writer had killed their mother and planned to go to the recipient’s school Wednesday and shoot more people. It provided Fanone’s mother’s home address.
I heard people say that Trump is a weak persons idea of a strong person, seems pretty accurate.
That’s the thing I don’t get. These “strongmen” are fucking cry babies.
Like the media darling Kyle Rittenhouse. Fucking cries while he’s on the stand.
Beer pong Brett Kavanaugh fucking crying on national TV from questioning.
Trump, literally, any day every day about how he’s some sort of victim.
How the alt right sees these men as the paragons of strength and leadership is beyond me.
