DC officer Michael Fanone says he was 'absolutely sickened' by Mitch McConnell's efforts to quash
the Jan. 6 commission
A Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police officer who was attacked at the January 6 Capitol riot said he was "absolutely sickened" by Mitch McConnell's attempt to block the commission into the event.
Michael Fanone spoke with senators ahead of their vote on the commission last week alongside Gladys Sicknick, the mother of officer Brian Sicknick, the Capitol Police officer who died after the riot. Fanone was attacked during the riot and suffered a heart attack.
He told CNN's Don Lemon on Wednesday that he heard McConnell was asking GOP senators to vote against the commission while he was there.

Fanone said: "I was absolutely sickened. You know, here I am escorting the mother of a dead policeman, while she and myself advocate for the formation of a commission to investigate the circumstances which resulted in her son's death.
