BREAKING: “YOU THREATENED MY FAMILY” — Jan. 6 hero Michael Fanone confronts MAGA menace who threatened his children in a Capitol meltdown.

Washington didn’t just witness a hearing today — it witnessed a reckoning.

As former special counsel Jack Smith testified before the House Judiciary Committee, the real drama erupted behind him, where retired D.C. police officer Michael Fanone came face-to-face with MAGA provocateur Ivan Raiklin — a man who has openly styled himself as Trump’s so-called “secretary of retribution.”

What followed was raw, furious, and unforgettable.

Raiklin, smirking for his own camera, tried to initiate a handshake. Fanone — who nearly died defending the Capitol on January 6 — responded with the clarity of someone who knows exactly who his enemies are: “Go f--- yourself. You’re a traitor to this country.”

Raiklin whined about “professionalism.” Fanone wasn’t playing that game.

“You threatened my family. You threatened my wife,” Fanone said, as fellow Jan. 6 hero Harry Dunn tried to hold him back. Then came the line that froze the room: Raiklin, Fanone said, had threatened his children — including rape threats. Capitol Police moved in as the MAGA agitator continued to mug for the camera, declaring he was “totally dominating” the moment.

Dominating? Please.

Fanone is a man who bled for democracy. Raiklin is a professional troll who thrives on intimidation and spectacle. One stood the line on January 6. The other cheers from the cheap seats.

As House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan banged his gavel, it was Rep. Jamie Raskin who said what everyone was thinking — calling Raiklin a “deranged observer” and thanking Fanone as the room erupted in applause.

This wasn’t a loss of control. This was moral clarity colliding with MAGA depravity.

And if this is how Raiklin behaves in a hearing room, imagine what he was cheering on when the Capitol was under siege.

Please like and share if you stand with Michael Fanone!
