Watch: Ex-Capitol cop Fanone describes drive-by attack on his mother by a Trump supporter
Raw StoryAppearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" the day after Donald Trump issued a blanket pardon to the approximately 1500 rioters who stormed the Capitol and beat on law enforcement officers, former Metropolitan Police Department cop Michael Fanone described the threat he is now under as well as related attacks on his mother from the president's supporters. Speaking with co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist, Fanone, who suffered a heart attack after being dragged through the treasonous crowd and tasered on his neck, name-checked the specific offenders who almost killed him, noting one who pulled him into the mob while shouting, "I got one!" Asked what the future hold for him, he replied, "My family is less safe; we've suffered threats and acts of violence almost immediately after my Congressional testimony in the select committee hearing. "She's had bricks thrown at her home in the middle of the night and recently, while she was raking the leaves in her front yard, she had an individual pull up in a truck and throw a bag of s--- on her."
