Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) thanked former D.C. Metro Police officer Michael Fanone on Thursday for defending the Capitol on January 6th while Allred's wife was pregnant.
“I just wanted to say to Officer Fanone, I was on the House floor on January 6th. We haven't had a chance to talk, but I know you have kids. My wife is at home with our son Jordan, who wasn't yet two. She was seven months pregnant. And, you know, thanks to your bravery, the bravery of your colleagues, and of true patriots who defended this Capitol, I believe I got to meet my son Cameron,” Allred said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on “The Weaponization of the Federal Government.”
“So, I want to thank you for your service. Thank you for your bravery,” Allred said. “I'm sorry that you had to endure so much of this personal attacks to try and undermine what you actually did that day. I want you to know that people all across this country know what you did, respect you, and appreciate your service.”
