@LD Freitas Because they boo’ed him.
@Nexus Six “I don’t want people to know we lost Mark. This is embarrassing. Figure it out. We need to figure it out. I don’t want people to know that we lost” — Trump to Mark Meadows after Supreme Court rejected his claim of a rigged election.
@Nexus Six Hope Hicks, a former White House aide under President Donald Trump, was among the staffers who complained that the Capitol riots may harm her career, recently revealed text messages show.
As a group of Trump supporters descended on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, his own employees were frantically communicating with one another behind the scenes — openly questioning why the then-president wasn’t denouncing the violence and wondering what the quickly unraveling scene might mean for their careers.
In a series of text exchanges between Hicks and Ivanka Trump’s chief of staff, Julie Radford — which were made public by the committee investigating the Capitol riots — the former aide writes, “In one day [Trump] ended every future opportunity that doesn’t include speaking engagements at the local Proud Boys chapter.”
“And all of us that didn’t have jobs lined up will be perpetually unemployed. I’m so mad and upset,” Hicks added. “We all look like domestic terrorists now.”

Hicks continued: “This made us all unemployable. Like untouchable. God I’m so f—ing mad.”
@Nexus Six Fox News host Sean Hannity admitted under oath that he “did not believe” for “one second” there was mass voter fraud in the 2020 election.
Hannity’s testimony was included in court depositions released on Wednesday in the Delaware Superior Court, according to The New York Times. The depositions were part of a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News brought by Dominion Voting Systems.
Hannity was responding to a question in the deposition on whether he believed the false claims made by former President Trump’s attorney Sidney Powell in November 2020.
Powell told Hannity then that there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election and that voting machines manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems helped steal the election by switching votes.
“I did not believe it for one second,” Hannity said in the released deposition, according to the Times.
Dominion is suing Fox News for defamation, alleging the company spread false claims about its voting machines in the aftermath of the 2020 election, leading to financial loss.
Trump’s legal team and the former president’s allies did appear on Fox News and other conservative networks raising false claims about the voting machines, but Dominion would have to prove that Fox journalists knew the claims they made were false or that journalists acted with a reckless disregard for the truth.
Stephen Shackelford, an attorney for Dominion, made the case at the hearing that the company has strong evidence that Fox News journalists knew claims about mass voter fraud in the 2020 election were false but chose to amplify them anyway, the Times reported.
“Many of the highest-ranking Fox people have admitted under oath that they never believed the Dominion lies,” he said, according to the Times.

Those include Fox News hosts Meade Cooper and prime-time star Tucker Carlson, Shackelford said.
The case is slated to go to a jury trial in April. The depositions released on Wednesday were part of a hearing to address some issues involved.
@Nexus Six Sidney Powell Says ‘No Reasonable Person’ Would Believe Her Election Fraud LiesFormer President Donald Trump’s former campaign lawyer Sidney Powell is apparently backtracking on her claims that voting machines were rigged in favor of now-President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
After Trump’s loss, Powell repeatedly argued that Dominion Voting Systems machines were manipulated to weigh votes for Biden more heavily than those for Trump, but she never provided any evidence to support the dubious accusation.
ADVERTISEMENT
Now that Dominion has filed a massive defamation lawsuit against her, Powell is claiming that “no reasonable person” should have taken her prior claims seriously.
Powell moved to dismiss the lawsuit on Monday, arguing that “no reasonable person would conclude” that her accusations of Dominion being part of an election-rigging scheme with ties to Venezuela “were truly statements of fact.”
The Capital should be secure no matter what.
God bless him , he will have flashback forever
Proud of your service,a great cop
I freakin love Fanone

Mr. FANONE Is a true 👍 American who fought, with courageous strength 💪 and ❤️ was harmed beyond measure 👏 👍 hope they all get the justice ⚖️ for this terrible heinous crime against all. Thank you for yr strength and courage 💛 hoping you will find peace ✌️ and accountability. All the best 👍
Lowest rated network.
@Slothy lol big mad
Dear God, you people are so gone
@Matt Slothy is on a contrarian troll bender comment-fest today. Pay it no mind 💕
We are frustrated right along with you Mr Fanone. All Capital police should be getting medals for what they did on Jan 6th. I agree with everything you said today. God bless you.
@Kelly Dalstok
She was on public property unarmed and peacefully protesting and was gunned down in cold blood by a corrupt cop
Start telling the truth for once
So police all over the country are dealing with incredible amounts of violence and gangs and drug Lords and being killed and unappreciated every single day doing their jobs while Democrats rally to defund them and make them out to be evil but because this is politically convenient, the police officers at the capital building are all heroes who deserve medals because they did a shitty job holding off crowds of unarmed people with flags and posters who unlawfully marched inside the capital to take pictures and a couple of them put their feet on the holy desks of lawmakers? How delusional are you guys? Police officer is literally being shot at in the most dangerous cities in the country are being pissed on, crucified and defunded but the ones at the capital who literally do nothing each and every single day but actually had to do their job just once and honestly did a really shitty job as you can see in the videos they are literally opening doors and pointing crowds to come through into the building which the media fails to show you or question why it happened but those guys are all heroes because politics 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤡🤡🤡
@Nera Kar Your right wing heavily propagandized, indoctrinated and all too often radicalization psychosis is showing 🤔🤕🤒🥴🤤😵💫🧠⚰️🧟🙌🍊🤡🤥😇🤥👑🃏🤹🎡🎪🗑️🔥💩💩💩🪠🚽
This man and also officer Harry Dunn he should be telling his story over and over again today. For one reason alone. How sick it is. How he was called the n word to his face while trying to protect people who mostly all look exactly like the racist calling him out of his dam name!!
I remember that Congress speech he gave and the looks on peoples faces when he repeats what he was called on that day.
There will be no looking the other way on that millions of non white people quite frankly haven’t and will not forget that. And to have people involved in jan6 right now at the Capitol making calls on who should be the speaker is a slap in the dam face to every non white person in the country because we would never get away with that.
We’re gonna have Justice one way or the other. That doesn’t mean anything violent. No not at all. If ever there comes a time where a blk Donald trump comes along or a Latino Donald comes along we’ll all look the other way also.
We’ll have someone at the justice department who somehow can’t bring himself to charge these folks.
Our guy he’s gonna live in really expensive home the whole time after pulling a jan6 and then he’s also gonna be allowed to announce he’s running again. FAIRNESS. it doesn’t have to be a fight in fact I’m cool with a ton of white people what we will have is fairness.
Since trump and the people who did jan6 have been all but allowed to get away with it I can’t wait to see my people with the power to do the same thing I’m praying for that great day. I hope no one takes this the wrong way. It’s not really a problem until YOU SEE OTHER PEOPLE DOING IT!
@LD Freitas 👈. They have it on video brain surgeon. Stop with the denial. Even airhead AOC saw them.
That frustration is echoed among many of us. The curtain has been pulled back on our “democracy” revealing that there are no laws or rules that apply to politicians.
I agree with you 100%. Pretty much 99.9% of politicians in Washington are criminals but the rules they make for us never seem to apply to them.
I disagree. There’s 21 people acting that way. These 21 people are throwing toddler level “No!” tantrums, and they take great joy in doing so. These 21 are incapable of compromising, and they don’t want to govern. They just want to get off by saying no.
Huge respect for Mr. Fanone…fellow long time CPTSD sufferer here….go heal
Fanone is so “himself”. No pretense. Total respect!
@Holeinone Doesn’t even know what traitor means

@VANILLA GORILLA Pay no mind to the troll boy in his garage
@Kevin Preston geeze Kevin, you believe all this was fabricated?? Because some maga site told you so?? He’s a decorated police officer with a resume you could only hope to achieve.
@NM Dakini Doesn’t change the fact he is lying
Michael Fanone for Speaker of the House! He is a no bull s–t guy, and a loyal American.
Goes to sow you life isn’t fair. The person defending our democracy 1/6 has health issues from that day and a boot licking trumper is trying to be speaker of the house.
I just want to HUG him …. he truly is a Hero… he did his job he did what was right… even with his words he is STILL protecting the people.
You have a sad life lolol
He’s a racist narc.
Fanone is an admirably decent, truthful human being who doesn’t mince his words. He deserves lasting respect, not just a medal. What a contrast to spineless Kevin McCarthy.
@Snap Dragon https://youtu.be/3DbE2SmV2bs watch you voted for this guy 🤣😂😂
Oh the capital 🤣😂😂
@Colorad – Yes, you love criminals. We know. I love seeing them get time in jail. 😂
@Lora Larose Not interested in your Fake news, isn’t that your maga mantra. Nothing you could show me makes up for what Mr Fanone has and is still going through after the treasonous act from Diaper Donny.
@Colorad Fascist.
Respect to this hero and all those that kept our democracy alive on 1/6.
Agreed wholeheartedly, Semper Fidelis 🇺🇸
Go to work, you’re brainwashed…
As someone who isn’t a morning person, I enormously resound with his initial response!
So appreciate Fanone always being real.
He’s a total fraud.
Yes! But Michael Fanone voted for that Orange Nightmare…
@Kevin Dwelle — Did he vote for him in 2016? 2020?
Here, here, Officer Fanone, well said.
Congratulations to you and other police officers for sacrificing your life’s to protect our Capitol and government officials. Your heroism won’t be forgotten! ❤☮🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸👏👏
If that’s true, why have right wing democrats not held anyone accountable for planning that terrorist attack? They are allowing some of the extremists that helped organize it to still serve in our government
Thank you Michael Fanone, your heroism is truly inspiring to see. I hope someday you can find some peace in your life, I can not imagine how you still feel about that terrible day 2 years ago.
This was a great interview. I love hearing the straight forward, common sense talk that needs to be said more often. Mr. Fanone is right in his message to the corrupt members in our government that are only thinking of themselves and not the constituents that voted for them. He is also correct that we need a leader that knows how to lead and gain respect.
