Former FBI Official Questions Trump Voters' Commitment to America
Frank Figliuzzi, former FBI assistant director, urges Trump voters to reconsider their American identity, citing concerns over Trump’s use of extremist rhetoric and its implications.
Former FBI assistant director Frank Figliuzzi expressed concerns about President Donald Trump's supporters during Monday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Deadline." He urged those who voted for Trump to reconsider their sense of American identity.
Figliuzzi remarked on a clip featuring Reince Priebus, stating, "Nothing to see here, don't worry, remain calm. He occasionally likes to take a grenade out and throw it on the floor to see what happens. I'll tell you what happens when you play with a live grenade and toss it on the floor; eventually, it explodes. The only question for us is whether it's going to explode back on Trump or explode and hurt the rest of us. My money is on both, by the way, people are going to get hurt and eventually it will blow back on Trump."
Discussing a disturbing quote, Figliuzzi stated, "When he says, 'Don't worry that someone who saves his country cannot violate a law,' it's reminiscent of sentiments attributed to Napoleon, but has been echoed by far-right extremists, notably Anders Breivik in Norway, who killed 77 people."
He emphasized, "Now our president is quoting that white supremacist, Neo-Nazi murderer. If you voted for that, you really need to question whether you're American anymore. But that's who's using that kind of statement. Listen, does Trump sit and read Norwegian history? Hell no. Someone is handing him this story, this quote. We need to figure out who keeps spoon-feeding him the white supremacy, white terrorist philosophy."
