DC Metro Cop Shares Threatening Voicemail Trump Supporter Left Him as He Testified at 1/6 Commission

"Back the blue" and "Blue lives matter" are common sentiments from the right when railing against nationwide opposition to racist police brutality, but that devotion doesn't extend to officers refuting the GOP's rampant disinformation regarding the deadly failed insurrection against the Capitol on January 6.

This Tuesday, the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol riots heard harrowing testimony from Capitol and D.C. Metro police officers, who detailed their experience defending the Capitol against the mob of pro-Trump extremists.


Ahead of the testimony, the officers faced vitriol from right-wing media personalities like Fox News host Tucker Carlson, as well as absurd claims by some Republican lawmakers that the insurrection resembled nothing more than a "normal tourist visit."

As he testified to the horrors he faced that day, this right-wing outrage trickled down to everyday Republicans, one of whom left an extremely disturbing voicemail for Officer Michael Fanone as he was testifying about the brain injuries and PTSD inflicted upon him that day.

Listen below, but be warned, the voicemail contains extremely graphic language.

The voicemail said:

"This is for Michael Fanone, Metropolitan Police Officer. You're on trial right now, lying and not, you want an Emmy, an Oscar, what're you trying to go for here? You're so full of s**t, you little f***ot f***er. You're a little p***y, man. I could slap you up the side head with a backhand, knock you out, you little f***ot. You're a punk f***ot, you're a lying f***k."

The screed wasn't over.

"How about all the scummy Black f***ing scum for two years destroying our cities and burning them and stealing all that s**t out of the stores and everything? How about that, assaulting cops and killing people? How about that, you f***er? That was s***t on the goddamn Capitol, I wish they would've killed all you scumbags, cause you people are scum."

That's when the caller began repeating former President Donald Trump's lies, which incited the riots in the first place.

"They stole the election from Trump and you know that, you scumbag. Too bad they didn't beat the s**t out of you more. You're a piece of s**t. You're a little f*g, you f***ing scumbag."

CNN host Don Lemon, who played the voicemail uncensored in an interview with Fanone, was exasperated by the caller.

Fanone said of the message:

"This is what happens to people who tell the truth in Trump's America."

Others shared the disgust.






The hypocrisy of the "Blue Lives Matter" crowd was laid bare.



The identity of the caller remains unknown.

A 'Fake Egg' Prank Targeting Kids Is Trending On TikTok—But Not Everyone Thinks It's Funny

In a recent TikTok trend, people are presenting young children with "fake eggs" and crushing the egg in their hands to show that the eggs are fake.

In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight

It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor.

That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

Guy Sparks Modern Dating Debate With His Unhinged Texts To Woman Who Turned Him Down For Second Date

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
