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 don’t get the logic in expecting leftists to vote for someone who neither represents or respects their views and solely use some ultra vague promise that some hypothetical candidate will represent them in some equally hypothetical future.
taking action right now is what matters to leftist and choosing between 2 candidates that share the same view, but only to different degrees, is the crux of the issue.
And that short-sightedness will not only fail to yield results, but will allow for a shift in the opposite direction. They’re not the first generation to face this problem. They could be the first generation in decades to do something about it.
How about expecting leftists to vote for the one of two likely candidates to win who isn’t a Nazi rapist who openly says he wants to be a dictator?
