“Donald Trump is a cult leader, and their legacy will be the Capitol riots, (the group) Proud Boys and (the platform) Parler ”, Joni Florea told Pix11 in his first television interview.
The wife of Eduard Florea, a computer engineer arrested by the FBI Tuesday in Queens (NYC), ensures that he was “Radicalized” by the words of the controversial president Trump.
Florea, a supporter of the far-right group “Proud Boys” that threatened to deploy “three cars full of armed patriots” in Washington DC last week, was charged Wednesday with storing military-style combat knives and over a thousand rifle cartridges in your home in Queens, federal authorities said.
Although he did not participate in the January 6 attacks, prosecutors claimed that the engineer promised to travel to the nation’s capital and cut “a throat” in the mutiny led by supporters of the president. In another post attributed to Florea threatened the life of newly elected African-American senator Raphael Warnock (D-Georgia), authorities said.
He was allegedly using the Parler platform to chat with other far-right Trump supporters. And he was a member of “Proud Boys”, an organization that firmly supports the president’s belief that electoral fraud led to Joe biden for president.
FBI agents had just finished questioning Joni Florea at her Middle Village home yesterday when she gave the interview, while her 8-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son watched television in the living room.
The woman said that They briefly handcuffed her Tuesday after officers called her spouse out of the house. He added that he has endured a lot in his marriage in recent years.
She is a survivor of domestic violence who stayed with her husband even after her 2014 Staten Island gun arrest. Now she does plan to get divorced.
She admits that she also supported Trump: “I thought it was something my husband and I could get along with. I thought he was fighting for the United States. ” She was convinced that “if we did not vote for him, we would fall into a kind of communist regime.”
But his home life became more difficult as the radical government advanced. “Life was no longer pleasant, because my husband became someone else”, he claimed. “It’s like I don’t have a voice.”
You feel that you are not alone in that situation. “I think there are many other women like me. It is the unspoken truth ”.
