BREAKING NEWS: Michael Fanone—Capitol Riot Survivor and Outspoken Trump Critic—Launches Explosive New YouTube Show with Occupy Democrats, Promising to Expose “Rampant Criminality” of Trump and GOP Allies
In a bold and highly symbolic move that underscores the continuing fallout from the January 6 Capitol attack, former Metropolitan Police officer Michael Fanone—who was brutally assaulted during the insurrection—has announced the launch of a hard-hitting new YouTube series titled “The Michael Fanone Show.” The series is being produced in collaboration with Occupy Democrats, a major progressive media outlet known for its confrontational stance on far-right extremism and Republican political corruption.
Fanone, who rose to national prominence following the January 6th attack, has long been a powerful voice in the public reckoning over that dark day in American history. A veteran law enforcement officer who nearly lost his life defending the Capitol, Fanone has since transformed into a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump and the Republican lawmakers he claims are enabling a “dangerous and deliberate erosion” of American democracy.
Now, through his new digital platform, Fanone is taking his message directly to the public—unfiltered, uncompromising, and unapologetically blunt. According to Fanone, the purpose of the show is to expose what he calls the “rampant criminality” of Donald Trump and those within the Republican Party who, in his view, have continuously shielded the former president from accountability while enriching themselves at the expense of truth, justice, and the rule of law.
“Donald Trump has made a mockery of the justice system I once proudly served,” Fanone said in a fiery promotional video for the show. “He’s cozied up to authoritarian regimes, alienated our closest allies, and continues to spew conspiracy theories that incite violence and undermine our most sacred democratic institutions. This show is about telling the truth—no matter how ugly or uncomfortable it may be—for the sake of this country’s future.”
Fanone’s debut episode reportedly dives straight into the most pressing issues surrounding Trump’s ongoing legal battles, including the mounting criminal indictments, allegations of election subversion, and accusations of obstruction of justice. Future episodes are expected to include deep dives into the January 6 investigation, interviews with fellow law enforcement officers, whistleblowers, legal experts, and political figures determined to preserve the rule of law in America.
Despite launching with a modest 50 subscribers, Fanone and his team are aiming high, publicly setting a goal of reaching 70,000 subscribers by the end of the day. They’re betting that millions of Americans—particularly those horrified by the events of January 6—will rally around this new voice calling for accountability, transparency, and justice.
Occupy Democrats, which boasts a massive social media following and viral reach, is throwing its full weight behind the project, signaling a strategic effort to amplify Fanone’s message ahead of what is shaping up to be a deeply contentious 2024 election cycle. In a joint statement, the group said, “Michael Fanone risked his life to protect democracy. Now he’s risking his reputation to call out those who threaten it from within. This show will be a clarion call to every American who still believes in the truth.”
Fanone’s shift from police officer to media figure represents a larger trend among those who witnessed the Capitol attack firsthand and have since felt compelled to speak out against rising extremism and political violence. His transition into political commentary is driven by what he calls a personal mission: to ensure that what happened on January 6 never happens again—and to shine a light on those who, he says, would rather forget it ever did.
As Donald Trump continues to dominate headlines and campaign events while facing an unprecedented number of legal challenges—including federal and state-level indictments—Fanone’s voice may prove to be a potent counterweight. His credibility as a victim of the insurrection, combined with his no-nonsense demeanor and media savvy, could turn The Michael Fanone Show into a major disruptor in the online political media space.
Only time will tell how much impact the show will have, but one thing is clear: Michael Fanone is not going quietly. In fact, he’s just getting started.
