'It's sick': Ex-Capitol Hill cop blasts Trump's support of Jan. 6 rioters

On #MorningJoe, Retired Metropolitan Officer Michael Fanone condemned former President Trump's alignment with individuals convicted for their roles in the January 6 Capitol riot. Describing Trump as "sick," Fanone criticized his characterization of these rioters as "hostages" and his proposals to pardon them if re-elected. He also pointed to Trump's campaign tactic of playing recordings of jailed rioters singing the national anthem, emphasizing the dissonance of supporting individuals who assaulted law enforcement officers who were “only doing their job” protecting the Capitol.
