Ex-DC and Capitol cop Michael Fanone said Graham spoke to him in May 2021
Both men were in a meeting involving Republican support for an investigation into the January 6 insurrection
Fanone told Graham that Capitol law enforcement officials have to abide by certain rules preventing them from using assault weapons in certain situations
Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn and the family of Brian Sicknick, who was a cop killed a day after last year's riots, were also present during the meeting
The conversation occurred just four months after the Capitol was under attack
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham once told an ex-Capitol police officer who was badly injured in the January 6 insurrection that he should have used his gun to shoot Trump supporters who were rioting in the head, a new memoir reveals.
Michael Fanone, who used to work for the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia from 2001 until 2021, said the South Carolina politician offered his two cents on the situation when they first met in May 2021 - four months after the attack.
'You guys should have shot them all in the head,' recalled Fanone in his memoir 'Hold the Line: The Insurrection and One Cop's Battle for America's Soul,' which is set for publication on October 11. 'We gave you guys guns, and you should have used them. I don’t understand why that didn’t happen.'
The former police officer then told Graham that law enforcement officials employed at the Capitol have to abide certain rules preventing them from using weapons of deadly force on crowds.

After 2 years of riots and cities burning, they finally want to shoot protesters who are doing to them what they allowed to be done to us.
When will the people of SC wake up and stop being conned by this RINO con-lady and primary him out. The people of Wyoming had enough of Liz Cheney, so when will SC have enough of Linda Graham?
Yeah, but half the crowd was feds from the DOJ. Kinda hard to not shoot the command and control agents dressed as Joe Sixpack with bull horn.
It will be 4 years before Miss Lindsey is up for re-election. I don't think America has that long.
Is Fanone the publicity whore who wears the big belt buckle and whose old man is a left wing lawyer and massive biden contributor??
“Republican Senator Lindsey Graham once told an ex-Capitol police officer who was badly injured in the January 6 insurrection that he should have used his gun to shoot Trump supporters who were rioting in the head, a new memoir reveals.”
I wonder if he ever said that with regards to Antifa and BLM
I think it was Bannon (one of those podcast hosts) who said that the SC GOP “watchers” during election day every time he wins are under his wing. Hard to dislodge him. Same way the Dummycrats always ‘win” the elections in WA state (aka the Dino Rossi story)
As usual Lindsey Graham doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.
I’m calling BS on this one.
they couldnt shoot
might hit an fbi guy
We? So you WERE in on that January 6th framing of innocents, eh, Linda? Wicked human.
Lindsey never saw a weapon he didn’t want used on somebody
Michael Fanone would make the Uvalde cops look competent.
Yes he really is a fruitcake.
Must have been that time of the month.
“Stormed” ... like every other person let in by the guards.
