Summary
Patrick Thomas Egan, 39, was arrested in Colorado for allegedly attacking TV reporter Ja’Ronn Alex, demanding to know if Alex was a U.S. citizen and declaring, “This is Trump’s America now.”
Police say Egan followed Alex’s vehicle for 40 miles, confronted him at his news station, and tackled him, putting him in a headlock that left Alex struggling to breathe.
The attack is being investigated as a possible bias-motivated crime.
Egan faces charges of assault and harassment, with prosecutors yet to file formal charges.
I wish the man wasn’t right. But he is. This is Trump’s America now and this is the new normal and the lügenpresse will be amongst the first victims.
This should be a thing. Every time something horrific happens it needs to be labeled as “Trump’s America.”
And I don’t mean things like natural disasters. Increases in hate, poverty, brutality. Things that Trump stands for and causes.
I’d argue natural disasters related to climate change could also fall under “Trump’s America”
Good point. Guess that’s going on the list too.
