Capitol Police officer dismisses descriptions of Jan. 6 as a tour

U.S. Capitol Police Officer Aquilino Gonell dismissed the idea that Jan. 6, 2021 — the day a mob of pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 election — was a tour, as some lawmakers had suggested.

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Gonell was asked what he would tell people who were skeptical about the magnitude of the attack.

“Well, those people, they never had talked to me about it. They never had like a minute or so, so I could tell them or show them my injuries. I could assure you that that was not a tour,” the police sergeant said. “And those people — that whoever assaulted me and my fellow officers, they should be in jail, not just — [they] were not the good guys during that day.”

Gonell said he was disappointed in lawmakers who said they were pro-law enforcement but instead sided with the rioters.

1. It was a scavenger hunt!

Find all the windows that are not reinforced.

2. No! They knew ahead of time which windows

had not been reinforced! How did they know that fact? Who told them?

3. Yes, someone gave them that information,

but it’s not inconceivable that someone would want to take a look at the locations before the operation.
