D.C. police officer assaulted during Capitol riot says GOP congressman refused to shake his hand

A Washington, D.C., police officer injured during the Jan. 6 Capitol attack said that he was snubbed by a Republican congressman who previously compared the riot to a “normal tourist visit."

Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone, who has described the lingering effects of a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder from the attack, told CNN's Don Lemon Wednesday evening that he had gone to Capitol Hill with the hope of speaking to House Republicans about his experience.

Fanone said he saw Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., in the elevator and extended his hand to the congressman — only to be rebuffed.
