Former D.C. Officer Michael Fanone says members of his own department taunted him at congressional award ceremony today, calling him a "piece of s---." He has said he has been ostracized for being outspoken about the Capitol riot and those who play down the violence that day.
Fanone told me: "I mean, at the end of the day, if those people are too ignorant to understand what I've been advocating for these past two years and the fact I had a lot to do with us being here today, then f--- them."
Fanone said he doesn't bring his family to ceremonies: "I don't want them to be subjected to what I am subjected to when I appear with members of my own department, a department I have advocated for at great personal cost."
D.C. police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck replied: "We're not focused on any one individual. We are focusing on the contributions of an entire department that saved Democracy on Jan. 6, 2021."
