Former D.C. police officer Michael Fanone, who was assaulted by a mob on Jan. 6, was harassed by protesters on Thursday night after he attended a hearing held by the House committee investigating the Capitol riot.
Multiple videos posted on Twitter show a group following Fanone and asking him antagonistic questions like “Are you a real police officer?”
Fanone, who resigned from his job as an officer last year and now works for CNN, experienced a heart attack during the Jan. 6 insurrection in addition to being beaten by a group of rioters.
The rioters on Jan. 6 assaulted Fanone and shocked him with his own taser multiple times.
Videos of Thursday’s incident show a man with a banner of former President Trump labeled “toxic loser” pushing the protestors away from Fanone, causing a second man to fall over and yell.
The second man is shown on video reporting to police that the man carrying the banner had hit him with the pole, after which police officers handcuffed the man with the banner.
