Michelle Dawson, a pro-Trump councilwoman in Yacolt, Washington, recently went viral for the tearful rant. She posted her tearful diatribe after her husband was fired for harassing a journalist at the so-called "Million MAGA March" held in Washington DC following the election.

In the video, Dawson sobs and blames "antifa" for her husband, Jeremy Dawson, losing his job as a construction foreman. She charges his employer with "bend[ing] their knee to fascism."

Michelle has since deleted her video, but not before Twitter account @JaredPushner snagged a copy. The account intercut Michelle's video with footage of Jeremy's interaction with the journalist that resulted in his firing.

The account called for people to be the judge of Dawson's actions.

Councilwoman Michelle Dawson is very upset that her husband Jeremy was fired from his job. She blames it on Antifa. https://t.co/TkGBPBgpQJ

In her portion of the video, Michelle is heard acknowledging her husband could have handled himself better. But she downplays his choices in behavior, calling them simply "probably not my husband's best moment."

Boys will be boys and everyone makes mistakes so let's overlook his actions, right Michelle?

The footage of Jeremy, however, tells a different story. In the clips shown in, Jeremy was seen both verbally and physically assaulting Portland, Oregon reporter Laura Jedeed, calling her a "bitch" and a "maggot-a**" and stepping on her foot.

Jedeed repeatedly asked him to step back away from her. Jeremy refused.

Jeremy then issued a veiled threat to Jedeed.

Jedeed asked for clarification as to what will happen in the lobby, but Jeremy doesn't respond.

The video then cuts back to Michelle, who is weeping while decrying the supposed violence of antifa.

At no point did Jedeed threaten, curse at or come in voluntary physical contact with Jeremy Dawsonnor were any "antifa" around.

The video concludes with shots of Michelle Dawson weeping and saying she's afraid to get out of her car, cut with shots of her husband physically shoving Jedeed while taunting her and yelling in her face. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the video did not garner much sympathy for the Dawsons.

People on Twitter were outraged.

@JaredPushner Actions have consequences. I have no sympathy for Michelle Dawson or her husband. None.

@JaredPushner Jesus.. all I see is this guy is dangerous. What kind of man speaks to and intimidates a woman like https://t.co/gmdxbPZR1f

And on Reddit, where the video was posted to PublicFreakout, people were similarly unsympathetic.
