‘Go F*CK yourself': Fanone goes off on Rep Nehls after clashing with Raiklin at Jack Smith hearing
Former Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone was briefly escorted out of a congressional hearing on former special counsel Jack Smith on Thursday after a tense exchange with Ivan Raiklin, a one-time Army reservist and right-wing operative. Raiklin called out to Fanone and introduced himself amid a packed House Judiciary Committee hearing room, prompting Fanone to turn around and say, "Go f--- yourself. … Don't pretend like we're not mortal enemies." The confrontation, which occurred during a recess, escalated to a near-physical altercation, as Fanone repeatedly lobbed obscenities at Raiklin and Raiklin told Fanone to "control his Tourette syndrome."
