Emerging story

Several officers recently testified to Congress regarding their experiences on duty during the January 6th insurrection. A number of social media users have since claimed that one of the testifiers, Officer Michael Fanone, was actually pretending to participate in the riot. The evidence that these posts use to back up their claims is a series of images of a man carrying a Confederate flag through the Capitol building next to a series of images of Fanone. 

These posts have gained significant attention on social media, gaining hundreds of interactions to date.
