D.C. officer attacked on Jan. 6 sounds alarm on political extremism ahead of 2024 election

Officer Michael Fanone heard his assailant yell “I got one, I got one!” as Fanone was pulled down the steps of the Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021.

In a coffee shop in downtown Richmond, Virginia, 100 miles and three years away from the events of that day, he remembered getting kicked, beaten and tased while surrounded by people hostile to his sense of what it means to be American.

Now, he's embarking on a months-long tour to meet with people who live in Congressional districts represented by elected officials that have supported former President Donald Trump's failed efforts to overturn the election. Fanone's goal? To warn people about his fears for a possible repeat of Jan. 6 with likely the same candidates vying for the presidency.

Fanone hopes to connect with America's disaffected in a cross-country tour to avert the potential for political violence in January 2025, when Congress will again be tasked with certifying a presidential election.
