It should be interesting to see if this moron(R)’s defense holds up in court, after he joined the Dotard/FOX inspired insurrection, when the murderous mob stormed the Capitol, and smeared feces all over.
Good news/bad new for those who say The devil (FOX) made me do it.
First of all, it’s probably a major contributing factor, for the gullible, ignorant sheep who get their ‘news’ from FOX and swallow Dotard’s lies.
BUT, if you pardoned ALL those morons, and the damage they’d do, they could wreck ur country in about a week.
A defendant in the January 6 insurrection, Anthony Antonio, made headlines recently when his lawyer claimed that Antonio's significant consumption of the Fox News Channel was responsible for his participation in the siege on the Capitol, resulting in five federal criminal charges against him.
The lawyer called it "Foxitis" and "Foxmania," suggesting that Antonio's steady diet of Fox misinformation in the weeks after the 2020 election convinced him that the election was stolen.
It’s obviously TRUE, but ignorance should never be a legal defense for breaking the law.
Antonio is far from the first insurrection defendant to claim that he went to the Capitol because he believed Trump wanted him there to "stop the steal." But Antonio's public about-face about the Big Lie that the election was stolen and his explicit acknowledgment of the role that Fox News played in his radicalization is something new.
