Officer Michael Fantone appeared on CNN with Don Lemon and, in a really heartbreaking second, stated, “It’s been powerful watching elected officers attempt to whitewash what occurred on the rebellion.” On that day, Officer Fantone was stunned-gun twice and crushed with a flagpole by offended Trump supporters who now admit they had been doing “what their president instructed them to do.” Within the cultist’s minds, Trump’s lie made law enforcement officials the enemy of democracy and justified the brutal assault on them as they defended the Capitol. Trump has but to hitch within the narrative supporting Capitol regulation enforcement efforts to guard the execution of our democratic election.
HOW DID A LOW-CHARACTER, CARTOONISH, INCOMPETENT LIKE TRUMP DEGRADE AN ENTIRE POLITICAL PARTY THAT ONCE STOOD FOR ULTRA-PATRIOTISM, MORAL PRINCIPLE, AND THE CONSTITUTION? WHY ARE BIZARRE, EXTREME CONSPIRACY THEORISTS NOW LEADING A GOP AGENDA WHICH IS LACKING IN POLICY AND REPRESENTS THE BIG ELECTION LIE, MISINFORMATION, DEMONIZATION OF THEIR OPPONENTS, AND THE CORRUPT PURSUIT OF POWER?
A major lie about Donald Trump is that he was a regulation and order president. He endorsed regulation enforcement throughout the Black Lives Matter demonstrations as a result of he opposed the pursuit of racial justice and equality, not as a result of he cares in regards to the security of law enforcement officials. The proof of this exhibits in his lack of motion about or concern for the assault on the Capitol and DC Metropolitan police for the reason that January sixth Trump-inspired assault on the Capitol. The police had been attacked and injured by his violent supporters as a result of he instructed them to cease the certification of the election that he misplaced. The police had been combating to guard democracy whereas the previous president was sabotaging it.
His “massive lie” and the ensuing rebellion value three law enforcement officials their lives and injured many others. On that day, Trump addressed the violent mob saying, ” We love you; you might be particular.” His concern on that darkish day in our historical past wasn’t for the protection and bravado of the police who had been making an attempt to guard the Capitol and members of Congress. As an alternative, he was centered on thanking the rioters for believing his lie and making an attempt to steal the victory from Joe Biden.
Regardless of his general incompetence, Trump is expert at gaslighting. He declares others are doing acts that he’s committing to deflect consideration away from his crimes and lies. The judiciary department of our authorities decidedly invalidated his lie about Democrats and never-Trump Republicans stealing the election from him. In fact, it was the previous president on tape, asking the Georgia Secretary of State to seek out votes to place him one level forward of Joe Biden that constitutes the one precise try and steal the election.
Trump’s abandonment of regulation enforcement couldn’t be extra evident in his embracing of the rioters, touting their “ardour and patriotism” to defend his lie, and his subsequent silence in regards to the dying, trauma and harm the law enforcement officials suffered and proceed to undergo on the Capitol that day. Democrats should arrange their efforts to retain the Home throughout the mid-terms to ship the message to the Republican get together that Trump is irrelevant, he’s hurting their get together, and they should dump him.
Civil lawsuits have been filed by a number of Capitol and DC law enforcement officials for the bodily and emotional accidents they suffered on the rebellion. Calif. Rep Eric Swalwell and different members of Congress who had been current on the rebellion have additionally filed lawsuits naming Trump liable for the trauma they suffered. Many officers present on the rebellion are reaching out to elected officers, to inform the reality about what occurred to them on the Capitol, whereas despicable Republican Rep Andrew Clyde says, “there was no rebellion; that’s a bald-faced lie.” He proved his “break-with-reality” psychological mind-set by saying, “should you didn’t know the TV footage was a video of Jan. sixth, you’d assume it was a traditional vacationer go to.”
