Former FBI Assistant Director Tells Trump Voters To ‘Question Whether You’re American’

MSNBC has been the home of relentless propaganda aimed at taking down President Donald Trump’s second term since long before he was even inaugurated.

But few examples are as offensive as the sweeping generalization former FBI Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi aimed at the tens of millions of Americans who vote for the president in November.

Figliuzzi is a frequent panelist on the far-left cable news network, and used the platform to deliver a bitter tirade aimed at Trump and all of his supporters, as Breitbart reported:

He continued, “With regard to this statement…when he says, ‘Don’t worry that someone who saves his country cannot violate a law.’ It’s been attributed by some historians who aren’t certain to Napoleon, but I’ll tell you where. it’s definitely been used far more recently. That’s with a white supremacist, far right extremist named Anders Breivik in Norway, who killed 77 people in Norway.”

Figliuzzi added, “Now our president is quoting that white supremacist, Neo-Nazi murderer. If you voted for that, you 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.”

Figliuzzi was referencing a social media post Trump shared featuring a quote that has since been unsurprisingly interpreted by his critics in the media as supposed evidence of his sinister motives:

Many of those critics, including Figliuzzi, were met with fierce backlash after sharing their spin on the story:

While even some on the right saw the post as an unforced era in an otherwise stellar first month, others say there’s more to Trump’s quote than meets the eye:

The Fact that Trump uses Napoleon quote and causes the Demonrats to lose their mind makes him the Troll King! This not only put them off balance, but it also was a shot at Europe. We'll played @POTUS pic.twitter.com/eQXgvikwMA

The New York Post covered the leftist fallout manufactured in response to Trump’s post:

“We told you Donald Trump wants to be a dictator. Well, it is now his official position that he can break any law he wants if he deems it necessary,” wrote Skyler Johnson, chair of the Suffolk Young Democrats, on Xlater Saturday.

User Angry Staffer also fretted in a tweet, “1. Yes, this is some weird shit. 2. He’s getting ready to do something really f—ing illegal.”

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) bemoaned on the site, “Donald Trump seems to believe he can do whatever he wishes in the name of ‘saving the country.’

“In our constitutional republic, the means matter more than the ends. The US Constitution trumps the policy preferences of President Trump,” Torres said.

Canadian law professor Camden Hutchison groused, “This is–without exaggeration–one of the worst statements ever made by a sitting U.S. president.”

Liberal Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) chided, “Spoken like a true dictator.”

User Ed Krassenstein added, “This is literally a quote attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte—right before he orchestrated a coup, seized absolute power, and crowned himself Emperor in defiance of democracy.”
