ARepublican congressman has hailed Capitol police officer Michael Fanone as a “hero” after the officer was allegedly rebuffed by a colleague, Andrew Clyde.
Adam Kinzinger, in an interview on CNN on Thursday, commended Mr Fanone for defending the Capitol on 6 January from rioters, following an apparent rejection from Mr Clyde.
"That's what happens when you put somebody that has lied to his constituents, that’s frankly afraid of telling his constituents the truth, in front of a hero," said Mr Kinzinger on Thursday.
He added: “In front of a hero that fought to defend him”.
Mr Fanone told CNN on Wednesday that when he introduced himself to Mr Clyde as an officer “who fought on January 6 to defend the Capitol” and reached out to shake the Republican’s hand, the congressman turned away.

The Trump Party will now no doubt call for Adam Kinzinger's head
