He said Capitol Police were having to respond to incoming threats to some members of Congress after Trump’s statement calling for their hanging.
Having been assaulted on Jan 6 and then testifying at the subsequent criminal trials, Fanone is familiar with the profile of the hard core of the MAGA base. They have criminal records, hate government, are white supremacists, and are violent.
Current political violence is overwhelmingly on the right with groups like The Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, the Three Percenters, The Boogaloo Bois, plus innumerable militias. Trump had to invent an organized violent group on the left: Antifa.
Nothing proves the point better than the case of Marjorie Taylor Greene. For years, she was hated by the Left, but she felt she needed to hire security after being criticized by Trump for only two days.
