We cats confess: We have a crush on DC cop Michael Fanone. This is new territory for us, because he has outrageous neck tattoos (not our cup of tuna). More significantly, he says he's a Republican. But maybe he won't be a Republican much longer.
That's because Officer Fanone, who was beaten, tased and seriously injured by Trumpsters on January 6, who suffered a heart attack as a result, and who ended up begging the mob to spare him because he had children, finally got a meeting with worthless POS House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy today. And by all accounts, it didn't go well. You don't say "I need a drink" after a positive, productive encounter.
McCarthy didn't agree to any of Fanone's requests — such as to publicly repudiate the 21 GOP members who voted against awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to officers who defended the Capitol on Insurrection Day. And so the Republican denials of what happened at the Capitol on January 6 go on.
Fanone sounded disgusted. "This experience for me is, you know, this is not something that I enjoy doing," he said. "I don't want to be up here on Capitol Hill. I want to be with my daughters. But I see this as an extension of my service on January 6."
We cats would love to give Officer Fanone ankle rubs and make biscuits in his lap. But we understand he has a job to do: to speak out even more forcefully about what happened on Insurrection Day, and to continue to shame Republicans for their attempts to rewrite history. So the best we can do is to encourage him to keep on keeping on. You go, Officer Fanone! We have your back. We cats PURR.
