Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone, who suffered a heart attack and traumatic brain injury after being violently assaulted Jan. 6, received a threatening, expletive-laced voicemail as he testified Tuesday about the Capitol riot.

“Unfortunately, I’ve come to expect this type of response,” he told CNN’s Don Lemon about the message. “It’s not the first time that people have expressed similar opinions to me. ... There is an element in this country that believes that.”testified Tuesday at the first hearing of the House select committee investigating Jan. 6

. He told the lawmakers on the panel that he was at risk of getting killed with his own firearm by the mob participating in the riot. "I was grabbed, beaten, tased, all while being called a traitor to my country," he said in his opening statement. Rioters dragged him into the crowd, grabbed his badge and ammunition and beat him with the metal objects and their fists, he said.During the hearing, Fanone and other officers asked lawmakers to look into the events leading up to the riot and whether those in power played any role in provoking the attack.

"It's interesting from a law enforcement perspective, as a police officer — a lot of these events happened in plain sight. We had violent political rhetoric," he said.

I am so sorry that some folks think that they have a right to be so cruel. Thank you to all four of you for telling your story.

Well I’m against police brutality but this here was a set up.The guy flat said btw this is being recorded for legal purposes. He was resisting and verbally acting out and take note that any time he said go ahead hit me again MFr that you never actually saw that on the video

Did they charge the man who left the threat?

Yet no video of him being dragged, beaten and repeatedly electrocuted has been released. Why is NBC sitting on this video and not releasing it?

The real failure of JoeBiden is that so many who participated in or enabled the Capitol riots seem to have escaped all consequence, and the heroes of the day are subject to the actions of vile criminals like this.

You conveniently failed to include the part where his heart attack and brain injury had NOTHING to do with Jan 6

Trump’s work is never done. MAGA

I have never lived in a time where people were so uncaring....trump has separated the United States are in such a sad time

I would vote for this guy if he ran for office.

It's not over, is it?

it is nothing but story to cause fool of people

Find the cowereds that did this to this patriot along with the voicemail caller and put them were they belong. At least fine the caller for threatening. The Nazi's who physically attacked him along with the rest of those terrorist should go to Git-Mo. Isn't that where we put them

I can't believe Republican law makers have sunk this low.

Consider the source sir….and thank you for your courageous service and fight to keep our democracy. God bless and keep you safe

Hmmmm. Top picture: Drumpf hid in bunker. Bottom picture: Drumpf watched from tent with family listening to “Gloria”. THEY WERE HIS PEOPLE AND HE CALLED OFF THE NATIONAL GUARD.

Similar language was used in an email sent to fred_guttenberg.

KenDilanianNBC Whoever did this to Officer Fanone is evil and vile.

Hope the find out who it was from.

anblanx Presume an effort will be made to trace that call.

My guess. A self proclaimed patriot who wears a 'maga hat' and watches 'fox news' all day with a 'blue lives matter' bumper sticker on his truck.

Further proving, 'blue lives', NEVER mattered, by the crowd that claimed, blue lives matter...
