Former DC Officer Fanone Hunkers Down In Blue Ridge Mountains; "Fully Expects" Shootout With Trump Agents
“I’ll die right here on my f—ing house,” he said. “I’m not going to be in some ‘Apprentice’ f—ing military tribunal.”
Fanone, 44, has indeed been extremely vocal about his experiences at the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, and the injuries he allegedly suffered.
Fanone is part of a quartet of celebrity cops juicing every second of their involvement in the four-hour disturbance nearly two years ago, earning lucrative book deals, congressional awards, and cable news gigs in the process.
Fanone has lots to say in his memoir - heavily sprinkled with obscenities - while ranting about Donald Trump and his supporters.
(Fanone begins with a brazen lie that Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick died of “wounds” sustained on January 6.)
In December 2022, he told Washington Post reporter Peter Hermann that he had been “ostracized for being outspoken about the Capitol riot” by those who want to “play down the violence that day.”
He lamented that members of the MPD’s Special Operations Division had called him “a piece of sh-t,” after he told everyone that he suffered a heart attack, a concussion and a traumatic brain injury during the riot.
Fanone told the Post he’d left the police force not long after he’d testified to Congress in July 2021.
He published his book, “Hold the Line: The Insurrection and One Cop’s Battle for America’s Soul,” and went on tour with a left-wing J6 activist group called “Courage For America.”
The group - run by Zac Petkanas, a Democratic strategist who previously worked for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and former Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) - ”supports abortion, LGBT interests, liberal immigration-expansion policies, and increased government spending,” according to Influence Watch.
Courage For America’s main goal was to “Make sure the MAGA agenda doesn’t get passed without strenuous opposition.”
Eventually, the J6 grifts wound down and Fanone had trouble finding another source of income.
“When he came back, he’d tried to get a job—at Walmart, at Costco, at Cabela’s—and nothing came through,” the Post reported.
“No one gives you a reason, but it’s pretty obvious,” Fanone said.
That reason, according to the Post is “his belief that half the country thinks he’s a traitor.”
Fanone now runs a private security business.
