Michael Fanone voted for Trump in 2016.
He was a Washington, D.C. Police officer on duty Jan 6th, 2021, when the Capitol was breached.
He responded and was dragged into the mob, beaten with poles and flags, repeatedly tased with his own stun gun, and threatened with death. He suffered a heart attack and traumatic brain injury but survived.
Then Trump returned to office and issued sweeping pardons to those convicted of attacking officers like Fanone on January 6.
After the pardons, Fanone expressed profound betrayal, saying he no longer views the current government as legitimate and has called Trump guilty of treason.
