Former DC Metro cop Mike Fanone, who was severely injured fighting insurrectionists on January 6th, 2021 and has since become an outspoken pro-democracy activist, tells NBC News his mother’s home was swatted after Fanone spoke at a press conference with other Capitol cops and actor Robert De Niro outside fat former President Trump’s porn cover-up trial in Manhattan on Tuesday.
“How dangerous is it to send law enforcement to an address in which you essentially are describing an active shooter, in which the only person present is a 78-year-old fucking woman,” Fanone told NBC. “This is the reality of going up against or challenging Donald Trump… These swatting calls are incredibly fucking dangerous, especially when the target is somebody like my mom.”
