Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone was tased on January 6th until he went into cardiac arrest and his heart stopped. Donald Trump pardoned his assaulters and called them “patriots.” RETWEET if you stand with Officer Fanone against Trump and the GOP!

Smith didn’t whisper it...he declared it: Trump caused, exploited...and helped fuel the Capitol riot. No more “peaceful protest” fairy tales.
