Officer Michael Fanone heckled by protesters of the Jan 6 hearing waiting outside the Capitol

Quite a scene just now—

Officer Michael Fanone heckled by protesters of the Jan 6 hearing waiting outside the Capitol he fought to defend — someone with a flag pole steps in and a small skirmish ensues…

“Are you a real police officer?”

That flop at the end. Dude must’ve played soccer or is a Lebron fan…

Cultists Harass Fanone Outside Jan. 6 Hearing [VIDEO]
July 22, 2022

The Daily Beast reports:

A former D.C. police officer who nearly died after the angry mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, attacked him was harassed by protesters as he came to the Thursday night prime time hearing. Michael Fanone, who survived a heart attack suffered during the riot, was called “a toxic loser” and other names as he walked near the Capitol.

Read the full article. Watch the clip. Yesterday Fanone testified in the trial of one of the rioters who assaulted him.

All for their orange god who uses them like puppets. I’d really like them to explain what he has done for them. You never even got your stupid wall.

and we were led to believe he was the one heckling Fanone.

Turns out he was defending Fanone and bashing tfg.

7. "Convoy" claims credit

There's a remnant of "The People's Convoy" (now the "1776 restoration movement", led by proud boy "Santa" ) claiming credit. From The Daily Beast:

"[Fanone] was harassed by protesters with the far-right 1776 Restoration Movement (formerly The People’s Convoy) as he came to the Thursday night primetime hearing."
snip
"the individual that hounded Fanone was one of their own. The group formerly called The People’s Convoy remains camped out on the National Mall, despite their top livestreamers jumping ship and many members contracting COVID-19."

Petrizzo at Daily Beast has been following their antics. Their ranks include at least one proud boy, some j6ers, some registered sex offenders. Three of them have been recently arrested on various charges.

They want a permit to squat on the Mall.
