Former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone, who has made a career out of having been at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, was a guest on Maya May's podcast (we hadn't heard of it either) and made some rather bold statements for someone who keeps reliving law enforcement officers being obstructed and injured. According to Breitbart News, Fanone said that it's time for Americans to "utilize their Second Amendment right" to protect themselves from "a lawless agency that's killing Americans."

Here's CNN's Scott Jennings:
Starting to think *maybe* this person didn’t have the temperament to be a police officer in the first place. https://t.co/ibtOcVd5Po

He’s a crisis actor

He's calling for an actual insurrection?

Wow.
An armed insurrection this time.
I think he is a pretend police officer....no way this "man" was legit...

Now it is clear how deeply polluted society is.

Should people who are here illegally use their "Second Amendment rights" to shoot at ICE agents sent to apprehend them? Is that what Fanone is calling for?
He’s a lunatic.

Arrest him.

So says a guy who repeatedly cries on national TV about protestors making him feel afraid.
— Frankie Stockes (@realStockes) January 9, 2026
So this guy who cried for years about the need to respect cop cops is now saying citizens should go murder cops?

Not cops … members of the unaccountable and lawless ICE.
If there was ever any doubt about this guy. They're no longer is

Notice how this coward would NEVER do this?
— 0xPuff (@0xPuff) January 9, 2026
He would NEVER walk out the door to the front of the line, but begs others to do it so he can jawbone behind a screen, in a basement, safe and sound.
Fanone is really threading the needle.

Put this scumbag behind bars and take his pension and his PTSD “disability.”

So now he wants these trained ICE Watch "warriors" armed to protect themselves from ICE agents? Here's an idea … leave them alone and let them do their jobs and nobody gets hurt.
