GOP leader Kevin McCarthy's staff calls DC Police officer a liar -- then hang up on him as he attempt

GOP leader Kevin McCarthy's staff calls DC Police officer a liar — then hang up on him as he attempted a meeting

Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Wednesday refused to meet with a DC Metropolitan police officer who wanted to talk to him about the attack on Jan. 6.

"I just spoke with a very upset Officer Michael Fanone. It's #PoliceWeek and for weeks," tweeted Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), "Fanone has made multiple requests to talk to @GOPLeader. He wants to show McCarthy what he experienced on 1/6. Today he was hung up on by McCarthy's staff. RT if Kevin should meet a hero."

The testimony from the police does not fit the lies McCarthy is spreading around the US media.

So easy to prove wrong, but also means they have zero excuse for McCarthy refusing to talk to him.

Fanone was the dc metropolitan cop who had a heart attack and got a concission on Jan 6 for anyone like me who is bad with names.

What a sleazy operation The fish rots from the head
