How do you feel about using Capitol Police officers, who experienced the Jan. 6 riot firsthand, in a presidential campaign?
January 6th was a serious attack that not enough American citizens care about. By joining the campaign trail, the defenders of democracy, the Capitol Police, are showing that not only will the insurrection not be forgotten, but that we need to understand the motivation and psychology behind why it occurred and how to proceed politically in an upset society.
It's incredibly powerful to see Officers Gonell and Dunn, who stood bravely against the Jan. 6 insurrection, stepping forward to support President Biden’s reelection campaign. Their firsthand accounts are a stark reminder of the chaos and violence incited by Trump’s rhetoric, highlighting the importance of choosing leaders who uphold the values of democracy and the rule of law.
