Police Officer Calls Out Those Who ‘Whitewash’ Capitol Riot

DC Metropolitan Police officer Michael Fanone, who was brutally assaulted while defending the US Capitol during the January 6 insurrection, told CNN that it’s been difficult to watch some elected officials and others “whitewash” the episode in its aftermath.

Said Fanone: “I experienced the most brutal, savage hand-to-hand combat of my entire life. Let alone my policing career, which spans almost two decades. It was nothing that I had ever thought would be a part of my law enforcement career, nor was I prepared to experience.”
