Former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone confronted a MAGA election denier to his face at a Thursday congressional hearing for former Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Former Capitol Police officer Michael Fanone confronted a MAGA election denier to his face at a Thursday congressional hearing at which former special counsel Jack Smith testified.
At Thursday’s hearing, Fanone, who was at the Capitol on duty during the January 6 riot, was filmed during a break confronting Ivan Raiklin. At one point, Fanone was held back by multiple people, including fellow former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn. Raiklin is a 2020 election conspiracy theorist and a vocal supporter of the January 6 Capitol rioters.
Footage from multiple angles on Thursday found Fanone and Raiklin exchanging words before Fanone walked towards Raiklin and called him a “traitor to this country.”
Raiklin, who was filming his own video during the confrontation, asked Fanone why he is so “spasmodic.”
Fanone crossed him arms and the two continued exchanging words as Dunn came up behind Fanone and began trying to pull him away.
“See how many people are restraining you?” Raiklin asked as others joined in pulling Fanone away. “Look at me, totally in control over my mind and body.”
A Capitol officer eventually stepped between the two.
“This guy’s threatened my family, threatened my children,” Fanone said as another officer stepped into the middle of the scene. “Threatened my — threatened to rape my children, you sick b*stard! Rape my children!”
Dunn eventually got Fanone back to his seat. Fanone warned one officer, “Do not f**king touch me” after the confrontation.

Jack Smith has always given me the creeps.
I think there’s something not right about that guy.
Its funny how that cop works..he supported Ashlii Babbitt being murdered in cold blood but cries for Renee Good
Is that the guy wearing the NAZI shirt? Why wasn’t he removed for wearing that?
that was the cop who cried over how ‘scared he was during jan 6 protests’
Probably should dress nicer when going to a congressional hearing especially if you have tattoos on your arms.
Proof?
And neck. He’s the one that looks like a convict.
Election denier. No use reading any further.
Looks like he’s not playing with a full deck... They threatened to rape his children??? I’m calling BS on that one.
He looks like a typical government plant. There should be no such thing as ‘capitol police’. They are too easily corruptible.
Fanone should get the nickname “Little Balls”, unlike a REAL man - Edward “Big Balls” Coristine.
Pure theater from a dirty cop. No one’s buying it anymore.
That thug was a Capitol cop? How nice.
Did they spray him with cocaine and steroids?
He suffered a heart attack and a traumatic brain injury and retired from the force in 2021.
I think he had a TBI long before January 6th.
He should at least be wearing a collared shirt. People really lack any self respect nowadays.
“… a 2020 election conspiracy theorist…”, and “election deniers”
Isn’t it cute how they come up with names for people who refuse to believe their bullshit?
“Election denier. No use reading any further.”
The correct neutral term is election skeptic.
Go F YOURSLF, fanone, pos.
