(25,048 posts)But the essence of what Officer Fanone says can be summed up in his final sentences. In short, Republicans have no character.
Not everyone is an eloquent speaker. And yet he makes an important point.

(13,018 posts)Is this not all over the news? Never Mind, I fucking know. Saw some trumper GQP asshole on CNN panel early this AM. Could not say he would not vote for trump again. He said the country could not withstand any more hell Biden has brought on the country and would end it if re/elected. Not one damn response from 4 other panel members. Briana was not there. God damn the GQP and media. I wanna hit something. A lot of something.

(7,794 posts)Every time an outlandish claim by a Trump-humping GQPster goes unchallenged on the TeeVee a devil gets its wings (or something like that). Democracy dying of a million small cuts while spittle lazily drools from the gaping mouths of talking heads.

Except I just got it to replace the one I just spider screened trying to knock a Pence fly off with my ball gap. So I punched the hell out of a pillow. No damage. I really think Briana may have had a rebuttal to the slick haired, Im a loyal Republican voter. Jim Jones demanded loyalty as well. When does the good Kool Aid take em all out? Just looked like he wears Dollar Store Mennon After shave to church on a Sunday night. For Jesus.

(18,626 posts)(Wash Post) "Former D.C. police officer Michael Fanone, who suffered a heart attack and was beaten by a mob during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, was heckled Thursday night by protesters near the Capitol. He had been attending a hearing by the House select Committee investigating last years riot."
"Video footage posted on social media shows Fanone, who is now an on-air commentator for CNN, being hassled by protesters. A woman who follows Fanone is seen asking why he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and questioning his credentials as a law enforcement officer as she points two phone cameras at him. As he walks away from the hecklers, the woman and other people follow him."
"Then a man wearing a black hat and holding a large banner with an image of former president Donald Trump and the words 'toxic loser' uses the banner to separate Fanone from the people following him. Shortly after, a man in dark-colored shorts falls over, screaming. He tells nearby police officers that the man with the anti-Trump banner 'just hit me with his pole.'
"Photos taken by The Washington Post and videos on social media show the man carrying the banner later being handcuffed by law enforcement. In one video, the man identifies himself as Stephen Parlato, of Boulder, Colo. The man said he was in D.C. to support the hearings and that he had intervened because Fanones hecklers were 'within inches of his face. And [Fanone] was trying to get away.'"

(46,059 posts)These people and their ilk assaulted Officer Fanone to the point of near death and fellow LEOs with flag poles, hockey sticks, bear spray, tasers, etc.
A person with a flag is trying to defend Fanone and poor, poor snowflake screams and cries about being attacked.
