Fanone Lashes Out At 'Petty Bitch' Trump And GOP Blocking Plaque Honoring Jan. 6 Cops

Source: MEDIAite

May 17th, 2025, 1:03 pm


Former DC Metro cop Michael Fanone — who suffered a heart attack after being assaulted by Trump fans during the Capitol riot — tore into “petty bitch” President Donald Trump’s and congressional Republicans who he says are too afraid of Trump to hang the plaque honoring officers who fought in the January 6 riot.

The plaque was created after Congress passed a bill in 2022 to honor those officers, but Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and others have stalled the installation of the plaque.

On an episode of The Jim Acosta Show this week, Fanone delivered a carefully-crafted and proctological message to Trump, Johnson, and other Republicans dragging their heels:

MICHAEL FANONE: When it comes to the plaque. You know, there’s been a lot of talk about this plaque, and I think there’s a lot of officers that probably do want to see this plaque placed in the Capitol, you know, according to the law.

And I understand, you know the Republican party has a very difficult time adhering to the law. You know, they are being led by a convicted felon who incited an insurrection against its country.

But I have a message for for Mike Johnson as to where they should place the plaque. And I think that it would be a perfect uh, presentation if the plaque was shoved up his ass.

Incredulous that it took place and seamlessly escalated out of control to a full-blown assault on our Capitol.
Injuring officers, scaling walls, a gallows for Democratic congress reps, and Mike Pence.
Say what you want about Michael Fanone; he was shaken to the core that day in person, defending with no backups.
How did they keep the rescue backups away? It was orchestrated that no one should assist that day.
I can't believe that happened, and here we are again, repeating the same mistakes.
Unbelievable that a great portion of US citizens are doomed and dumb enough to make these mistakes over and over.

This scenario actually took place in Brazil and looked like a Latin version of Jan 6. The former president responsible, Bolsonaro, is a big fan of Orange ass, tsf. He has been charged and is facing jail. He was denied authorization to attend Orange ass inauguration. He tried. Orange ass was his buddy at one time…Bolsonaro ran against Lula, an active unionist, who won the elections. President Lula has 0 interest in Orange ass. I think Brazil received a 10% tariff on exports so Lula is looking for other markets and is in serious talks with China.

One thing about Brazil I think is ideal: Election Day is a day off for everyone. Everyone capable is required to vote. If unable to vote either have a very good reason or pay a fine. (Fine is minimal)
