The mother of a DC Police officer who was brutally assaulted while defending the US Capitol during the January 6 insurrection said Monday that she and her family are outraged by former President Donald Trump's claim that his supporters were "hugging and kissing" officers during the riot and that the mob posed "zero threat."
Terry Fanone, the mother of officer Michael Fanone, who was stun-gunned several times, beaten with a flagpole and heard people screaming, "Kill him with his own gun," told CNN's Don Lemon on "CNN Tonight" that when she thinks about Trump's recent comments, "What goes through my mind is really outrage."
"For us, for our family, and for each and every police officer that I know that Michael's in touch with constantly, it's outrageous. It's so dehumanizing. It's so devaluing," she said.
The former President falsely claimed in an interview with Fox News last week that the pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol earlier this year in an attack that left five dead, including a police officer, behaved properly with law enforcement and that there was "zero threat" to the building. He also claimed that some of the rioters "went in, and they are hugging and kissing the police and the guards."

All Trump has ever done is lie, steal and evade the consequences of his actions. No more!

Funny videos back Trump! The Officers were moving the gates back laughing and talking with the peaceful protesters and even opened and escorted them inside!

Really, I guess you support what is going on now in our nation now. Of course blame the one and not the few. Accountability falls on those who broke the law. This is what is wrong with our nation. Such a hypocritical take.

Things will only get more interesting some still believe he will come back to office in August I think now. He lost base after supporting the vaccine effort he and his administration started. However back to the article at hand, like many other protest it will turn violent. Im sure just like the protests of the summer many were there peacefully just to show support and book it out of there once things went south. It's always the ones with a bad agenda to ruin it for all. Those who wanted to storm the caption and start a boogaloo had their intentions others were upset
Same with the protests over the summer. A group took over a part of Seattle and some tried to take over the senate building until they got what they wanted both failed.
