Thank God for those police that protected our Senate!!

Thank you, U.S. Capitol Police Sergeant Aquilino Gonell, for defending America from domestic enemies.

"still recovering from so called hugs and kisses " Trump failed these men and women

[robertbeccue]

“Stand back and stand by” said Trump to the proud boys indicating to me that he knew what was going to happen. If he knew, other Republican senators and congressman knew. That is why this investigation is a must and why Republicans are running from it as fast as they can.

[johnzelis]

Yes, agree with Sergeant Aquilino Gonell, he made a very powerful analysis. As far as Republicans, who in the ""world"" could trust a American Republican to comment about local violence, or any military modern activities world wide. I submit Sergeant Gonell needs to be commended and promoted for meritorious action in serving to protect the Congress of the United States.

[keeganpenney]

Him saying he felt sacrificed by the president of the time. Those are powerful words

[warpedjaffas]

Never forget. Republicans voted against giving this man a commendation for stopping Mike Pence's murder.

[warpedjaffas]

Not sure how anyone votes Republican after hearing him speak.

[armstrong]

the GOP resents the Capitol Police for stopping the insurrection.

[aaronjohnson]

There must be a 01/06/2021 report or a 01/06/2021 commission it must happen

[joycelynburke]

He's right. Trump was enjoying himself seeing all this.

[michaelstraughn]

"FOLLOW THE MONEY"!!!...All those Republican lawmakers should have their bank accounts scrutinized for 'Black-Money' in lieu of their support or denial of the Jan. 6th insurrection

[bonniel]

Definitely rethugs were complicit in this domestic terrorism. Blessings to the heroic Capitol Police officers. Thank you for having Sgt. Gonnell on, and other officers on as well to speak the truth of what happened.

Nicole - how can you employ the term "lawmakers" for members of Congress when half of them are lawbreakers and lawblockers?

[sandyyr]

Great interview. I’m so sadden by what he’s gone through and all the others. Sad times ☹️

[bryandeschenes]

The fact that MTG and Matt Gaetz voted against the commission, but strangely want to be on this committee is the definition of "deplorable". God help you if you can't see right through this Republican poopshow. I feel it's time to put Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove" back in theatres.

[nenaaa]

He was an immigrant brought here by his family who served with honor in the military unlike the 6 time draft dodger tRump who called those who serve suckers and the seditionist in Congress and he a hero stood his ground against the fascist attack by the QOP's base. Thank you sir speaking up and your bravery!

[oceanrock]

These Officers need counseling for PTSD. It was a lot more violent than the videos show.

[stellashepherd]

That man is hurting and it breaks my heart.

[southernbelle]

It's sad but you most certainly did not have trumps support...thank you for your service sir👍🇺🇸
