This Is The Type Of Scum Trump Has Working On His Campaign

It was revealed this week that a Trump Campaign county chair lost his job as a police officer after he threatened to murder his colleagues and assault the Chief of Police's wife. The officer was angry that he was being disciplined for having a romantic relationship with a high school student, and that's when he went completely berserk. These are the kinds of people that are attracted to authoritarian figures like Donald Trump, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

In case you were curious about what kind of scumbags the Trump campaign has working for them. A report came out this week that told us that one of Donald Trump's county chairs for his campaign in the state of New Hampshire happens to be a former police officer who all the way back in 2006 was actually fired after he threatened to shoot everyone in his precinct along with murdering the chief of police while raping his wife and kids. And the whole reason that this man wanted to quote Go postal on everyone in his police office is because he had been reprimanded for having a relationship with a 16-year-old high school girl. Again, this was not recent, but the man is, as of this recording, still a county chair for the Trump campaign in New Hampshire, as well as a sitting state representative in New Hampshire. Let me read you this.

He lost his job as a police officer after threatening to kill his colleagues in a shooting spree, murder the department chief and rape the chief's wife, and retaliation for his suspension over his relationship with a high school girl. Now, one police coworker told investigators she had heard the man make threats to a colleague. She says, that conversation included discussion about backing a truck up to the back door, kicking the door open, and going on a shooting spree while the man was under investigation for something. He was going to tie up the chief, make the chief watch him as he pillages the chief's wife and children. I recall the man saying he was going to go to the chief's house and rape the chief's wife and kids, and then shoot the chief. All of this was kept under wraps. There was a settlement reached with the police office.

So this was not public knowledge until of course, this week and the Trump campaign, upon learning this, said, well, we don't know what we're gonna do with him. Maybe he stays the county chair. Maybe he doesn't. We don't know, right? I mean, whatever. This man, after being fired as a police officer, but before becoming a state representative, then did the only logical thing he could do, and he opened up a gun shop. So now this man who in addition to this incident, the police report, says he has a history of losing his temper, uh, now runs a gun shop in New Hampshire, and he's a sitting state representative, and he works for the Trump campaign. This is the kind of scum that is attracted to Donald Trump. This is the kind of disgusting person that Donald Trump attracts, right? An authoritarian

Type figure who comes in and says, everybody's gonna do what I say they're gonna do. And this guy looked at that and said, hell yeah, that's me. Oh, and by the way, back in 2016, during a campaign stop in New Hampshire, this former police officer also presented Donald Trump with an inscribed AR 15 assault rifle. Uh, nobody knows as of this point what happened with that assault rifle, but man, this guy loves his guns. And based on everything we know, probably not the kind of person that should be allowed to be anywhere near a firearm given his history. But that's just the kind of person that the Trump campaign likes, because again, they don't know if they're gonna fire him or not. You know? Oh, everybody makes mistakes, right? This is appalling. But these are the kinds of people that Donald Trump attracts.
