The lawyer blamed “Foxitis” for the client’s role in the Capitol riots

The U.S. Capitol’s Anthony Antonio was allegedly hooked on the Fox News incident and developed “Foxitis,” his lawyer said Thursday in a virtual hearing that was repeatedly interrupted by another defendant’s profane blast. Antonio, lawyer Joseph Hurley, said he lost his job at the start of the pandemic and watched Fox News continuously for the next six months. Antonio developed what his lawyers called “Foxitis” and “Foxmania” and believed the lies about the 2020 election by Fox News and then-President Donald Trump. “He believed in what he was fed,” Hurley said. # AC360 #CNN # News.
