After weeks of avoiding him, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) finally met with a police officer who is still out on medical leave after being brutally attacked by MAGA terrorists during the Trump-fueled insurrection on January 6.
DC Metropolitan Police Officer Michael was among the Washington, DC, MPD and US Capitol Police officers who were on duty when a mob of pro-Trump supporters breached and stormed the building. But his meeting with McCarthy didn’t go well.
“I asked him specifically for a commitment to denounce that publicly. And he said that he would address it at a personal level, with some of those members. But again, I think that as a leader of the House Republican, or I’m sorry, as the leader of the House Republican Party, it’s important to hear those denouncements publicly,” Fanone said.
When asked how the meeting went after leaving McCarthy’s office, Fanone replied, “I need a drink.”
