GOP congressman refuses to shake hands with cop who protected Capitol on Jan. 6

Fanone said Clyde did not motion to shake his hand in return. “I said, ‘I’m sorry, you’re not going to shake my hand?’ ” Fanone said he told Clyde. He said Clyde answered, “I don’t know who you are.” Fanone said he responded, “’I’m sorry, sir, my name is Michael Fanone. I’m a D.C. police officer and I fought to defend the Capitol on Jan. 6.” He said he described being stunned repeatedly in the back of the neck and beaten unconscious, stripped of his badge and radio. “His response was nothing,” Fanone said. “He turned away from me, pulled out his cellphone and started thumbing through the apps.” Fanone said Clyde turned on the camera app but did not point the phone in his direction. Fanone said he believes Clyde was trying to record audio of the encounter. “After that, I just simply stood there,” Fanone said.
