A MSNBC host choked back tears live on the air while talking to a cop who was on the front lines of Jan. 6 — and in other news … new fugitives are in custody 3 years to the day.
Anchor Jonathan Capehart brought former Metro D.C. officer Michael Fanone on his Saturday morning program, and after recapping what had happened on 1/6/21 and introducing him … JC got emotional on camera before he passed things off to his guest.
Watch … you can tell the heartfelt moment wasn’t lost on Fanone, who also seemed to be stirred. Capehart took out a handkerchief and wiped his face a bit as he gathered himself.
Like we said, Fanone was one of the many officers on the scene on Jan. 6 — and he nearly lost his life as MAGA supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop Congress’s certification of the 2020 election … this after Donald Trump gave a speech earlier in the day.
Fanone has made the rounds on cable news and on Capitol Hill in the years since … relaying his harrowing near-death experience and denouncing the rioters’ motives and actions.
His story continues to touch hearts … including Capehart’s, who broke down in front of him.
BTW, the Jan. 6 arrests continue to this day too … including 3 new ones that were just announced Saturday by the FBI. The feds say they’ve captured a trio of fugitives whom they’d been looking for since ’21 … Jonathan and Olivia Pollock and Joseph Hutchinson.
They got busted hiding out in FL … and now, they face serious charges related to the event.
