McCarthy said of DC police officer Michael Fanone, who was badly hurt on Jan. 6 and has been trying to set up a meeting with him: “I'd gladly meet with him .. we gave him the phone number to the scheduler and said we'd love to meet with you. Unfortunately he hasn't followed up.”
Officer Fanone told me he finally spoke with a scheduler from McCarthy’s office today.
Fanone says he attempted to first schedule a meeting with McCarthy more than a month ago — on the day that Rep. Clyde compared the day’s events to a “normal tourist visit.”
Fanone says he attempted to first schedule a meeting with McCarthy more than a month ago — on the day that Rep. Clyde compared the day’s events to a “normal tourist visit.”
But Fanone said the person who answered the initial call last month “was very disrespectful.” Then, the person passed the call off to another aide who gave an email address of the scheduler. He said he didn’t email the scheduler after he was treated rudely by the staff
Fanone denied that he was given a phone number to the scheduler as the leader asserted.
After McCarthy made his comments, Fanone says he got in touch with the scheduler today — and that aide took down his information and said they “would be in touch when he had availablity.”

Fanone added: “Trying to make an appointment with Kevin McCarthy is like trying to get an appointment with God.”
