Michael Fanone: Oath Keepers and Proud Boys Are, ‘For the Lack of a Better Term, Pathetic Morons’

‘Many of them are, you know, not well-educated’

EXCERPT:

FANONE: “We had this conversation before the show, and you're going to make me say things that are going to get me in trouble on CNN. But, no, I mean, I -- listen, these -- if you look into the interviews that were conducted with many of these guys, you know, they are, for lack of a better term, pathetic morons. People who were susceptible to the type of manipulation that Donald Trump and -- and many of his allies utilized. Many of them are, you know, not well-educated. They are of not -- you know, not of means. And -- and then a lot of them harbor sexist, racist ideology. And that's kind of what binds them together in those particular groups, as well as harboring some pretty extreme anti- government sentiment.”
