The attacks on Michael Fanone were absolutely horrendous, the pardons for the creeps who did the attacking is even more heinous. I'm so impressed that his family is still standing up to these guys. It is so awful that a cowardly person in a big pickup would scare Michael's mother. I can't believe that this is America, it is no where I have ever been. I'm 83 and lived in DC, Chicago, Seattle, taught in inner-city schools always and never have seen people like this.

Good interview. I love Michael's passion and his "I don't give a fuck" attitude toward ReTHUGlicans.

So Mr. Fanone revealed that the proud boys try to get funds by suing people (whom they’ve provoked) or by selling proud boys swag (t-shirts, underwear, etc.). Who else do we know that operates this way? Yes, our grifter-in-chief! Fascinating!

Mr. Fanone, I have the utmost respect for you, and I am so sorry you and your family receive death threats. Thank you for all you have done.

Thanks Val for your comment, and you're so right! Trump does that same exact thing!

Michael Fanone is a national hero, and to hear again what he’s had to endure from POS MAGA is infuriating and heartbreaking, especially his Mom. What a bunch of pigs some of those MAGA people are. The talk about Tarrio swag is nauseating, but I’m glad to hear the truth be told. We have a truly sinister president and administration in the White House. This must be halted and changed!

It is hard to believe that any human can be as cruel as Trump. Harder yet to believe that so many stand behind his cruelty!

“It’s got to be the American people pushing the Democratic Party to fight for us”—Michael Fanone—who will always be one of my heroes. (BTW—loved your book!) So, let’s get back on the streets. Let’s show the mad king what democracy really looks like. By the tens of millions. Let’s support groups like Hands Off, Indivisible, 50501, to organize a second nationwide and worldwide protest against the Trump regime, similar to April 5th but bigger! The date? June 14th! It’s the date that Trump wants to hold a “huge” military parade in DC and it happens to be his birthday. Let’s throw him the biggest birthday bash ever 😊 On the streets of America. Protesting loud and rude. Lets’s go!

Such a great interview. The way Michael Fanone and his family have been villied is despicable. It’s just astounding to me still that any police voted for him when officers were hurt/killed in the insurrection and he never denounced that behavior.
