Pro-Trump political commentator Julie Kelly called police officers testifying at the Capitol riot inquiry 'crisis actors' (msn.com)
Julie Kelly, a pro-Trump political commentator who has appeared as a guest on Fox News, called police officers testifying at the Capitol riot hearing on Tuesday "crisis actors."
"Crisis actor" is a term used by far-right conspiracy theorists to refer to those who have been hired to manipulate public opinion by lying about events as victims and witnesses.
Speaking about the testimony of DC Metropolitan police officer Michael Fanone, Kelly tweeted: "Crisis actor Fanone just beat on the table and said it's 'disgraceful!' that any elected official denies his narrative of what happened on January 6."
When you have something more than just your own suspicions, let us know. In the meantime, try and appreciate just what those officers went through. As Fanone (and I think one other) spoke to, they literally thought they were going to die that day.I have complete empathy for the officers, but you have to admit that their opening statements seemed very scripted. Notice for instance NONE of them used the words rioters or insurrectionists in those statements. They all used the word terrorist. Also, citing a Carnegie-Mellon study sounds like something a Congressional staffer would write. I would bet that their statements were written by Congressional staffers or other activists.
Also, they all had to dab their eyes. Seems way too scripted.
And the poorly timed and amateurish pounding on the table was too theatrical to be genuine.
They would have been better letting them use their own words.
What would you have changed in their presentation to make it feel truthier?I have complete empathy for the officers, but you have to admit that their opening statements seemed very scripted.

Two party screw all the way to Sunday.BTW, from my perspective, I hate to see Republicans gain in power.
I also hate to see Democrats gain in power.
(Yes, I'm a hater.)
Perhaps they should have brushed up the script to make it sound more authentic, then.Using their own words in the opening statements. It seems clear to me that their statements were coached or massaged by someone.
