Frank Figliuzzi, a former FBI official now working as a senior national security analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, declared that Trump voters should question whether they’re even “American anymore” on the latter network Monday.
After anchor Nicolle Wallace pointed out that current Trump allies like Tucker Carlson, Vice President JD Vance, and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) have all denounced President Donald Trump in the past, Figliuzzi submitted that “We’re watching Exhibit A for an unmitigated desire for power, and influence, and relevancy. That’s who surrounds Donald Trump right now –people who literally can’t get another job without kissing his rear end.”
Then he addressed a clip of former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus defending Trump’s recent declaration that “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law”:
And this Reince Priebus clip that you played, Nicole — “Nothing to see here,” as Angela said. “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, and the only question for us is whether it’s going to explode back on Trump or explode and hurt the rest of us. And my money’s on both, by
the way. People are going to get hurt and eventually it will blow back on Trump.And then, you know, with regard to this statement, which, again, we shall not believe, Reince Priebus, what he says, don’t worry that someone who saves his country cannot violate a law. Okay, 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. And that’s with a white supremacist, far-right extremist named Anders Breivik in Norway who killed 77 people in Norway. The worst modern mass murder in Norwegian history, including a mass murder, two separate incidents by him on the same day, including a mass murder at a kids camp in in Norway. And he’s the one, who describes himself as a neo-Nazi, who’s used that statement more recently in history. And 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. And listen, does Trump sit and read Norwegian history? Hell, no. Someone is handing him this story, this quote, and we need to figure out who keeps spoon feeding him the white supremacy, white terrorist philosophy.
