He isn't afraid. He is sending a message. That message is, in the words of Eric Cartman: "Respect my authority!"
I.e. it was meant to dissuade people from questions or comments that reveal his fascist beliefs.
The kid shouldn't have apologized, as he was just asking questions, and not in the dishonest way.
I would say his initial non-answer shows he is afraid. He's afraid and lashing out because his authority isn't being respected and he knows it. He can't answer a simple question from a teenager about January 6th.
I saw the kid's apology as kind of a troll honestly. "Sorry for getting you in trouble with your boss"
