‘He believes he is the law’: anti-Maga conservatives view Trump as threat to constitution

Speakers at Principles First summit warned of peril Trump and allies posed, urging people to be in the streets'

Michael Fanone, the former police officer who defended the US Capitol on 6 January 2021, looked out at the attendees of the Principles First summit and denounced Donald Trump in the strongest possible terms for pardoning roughly 1,500 people who participated in the insurrection.

He pardoned them because he wants people to know that if you commit crimes on his behalf, he's got your back," Fanone said on Saturday. They are operating under the assumption that, if they commit violent criminal acts on Donald Trump's behalf, that he will pardon them for future violence."
