"Capitol Officer's Emotional Journey from Jan. 6 Attack to Public Acknowledgment"

MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart emotionally thanked former D.C. metro police officer Michael Fanone on the third anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riot. Fanone, who was beaten unconscious during the attack, has been critical of former President Donald Trump and others who downplay the events of that day. He emphasized the importance of the 2024 election and the ongoing fight for democracy. Fanone also commented on the sentences given to the rioters who attacked him, contrasting their deserved punishment with Trump's sympathetic stance towards them.
