Former Police Officer Nearly Killed on Jan. 6 Attack Speaks Out Against Trump’s “Authoritarian” Actions
In a recent news story, former police officer Michael Fanone spoke out against Donald Trump, calling him an authoritarian with a violence fetish. Fanone’s mother was swatted at her home in Virginia, and a fake manifesto attributed to Fanone was sent out, threatening violence. These incidents highlight the dangerous consequences of challenging Trump and his lies.
Here are some of the lies that Donald Trump has been telling, as emphasized in the article:
– Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election being stolen fueled the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
– Trump and his surrogates continue to spread lies about the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and the assault on police officers like Fanone.
– Trump’s supporters, inspired by his lies, violently assaulted law enforcement officers during the Capitol attack.
These lies perpetuated by Trump pose a serious threat to democracy. His narcissistic lying undermines the trust in our electoral system and fuels division and violence among Americans. It is imperative to hold him accountable for his actions and the consequences of his deceitful rhetoric.
