A January 6th Cop is running for office. His story is something:
Vs the Jan 6th felon, also running for Congress:Conversely, in his testimony to the House Jan. 6 Select Committee in June 2021, Dunn described how his experiences that day had left him “completely drained both physically and emotionally.” He was first stationed outside the Capitol, but after the building was breached he was called inside to guard a stairwell below which were injured officers, as well as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office.
And then he described facing a torrent of racial epithets.
”No one had ever—ever—called me a `nigger’ while wearing the uniform of a Capitol Police officer. In the days following the attempted insurrection, other black officers shared with me their own stories of racial abuse on January 6. … Another black officer later told he had been confronted by insurrectionists inside the Capitol, who told him to “Put your gun down and we’ll show you what kind of nigger you really are!’” …
“I sat down on a bench with a friend of mine who is also a black Capitol Police officer, and told him about the racial slurs I had endured. I became very emotional and began yelling ‘How the [expletive] can something like this happen?! Is this America?’’ I began sobbing, and officers came over to console me.”
So, we have one candidate who is a public servant, defending our nation against those who would overthrow it violently, and the other who says one thing in court to save his skin, but out of court shows he’s a lying sack of shit.Back in West Virginia, Evans remains unrepentant about the events of Jan. 6. His live-streamed videos led the FBI to arrest him on federal charges just two days after the attempted insurrection. The next day, on Jan. 9, 2021, Evans resigned from West Virginia’s House of Delegates. In a statement, the disgraced lawmaker wrote, “I take full responsibility for my actions, and deeply regret any hurt, pain or embarrassment I may have caused my family, friends, constituents and fellow West Virginians.”
During his July 2022 sentencing hearing for the felony charge of civil obstruction to which he’d pleaded guilty, Evans was contrite. He told the judge he is a “good person who unfortunately was caught up in a moment.” His approach apparently worked: Evans was facing up to five years in federal prison, but was sentenced to just three months.
But after the sentence was handed down, prosecutors noted in a letter to the judge that Evans was downplaying the violence and destruction on Jan. 6 and making inconsistent statements about his role in the attack. The letter mentioned a radio interview in which Evans was asked whether he had any regrets about Jan. 6. He replied, “I’m never going to regret standing up to tyranny and standing up for people who believe in me.”
Then, on Jan, 6, 2023, the second anniversary of the insurrection, Evans announced he was running for Congress, promising that “Once elected, I will proudly stand with the Freedom Caucus to oppose the globalist, uniparty swamp rats who are attempting to destroy this country.”
This, to me, says EVERYTHING about the state of our parties in 2024, and what each party stands for.
And we know what candidate both Joe and Glenn would vote for, if they had the chance.
I’m also not surprised at how racist the January 6th insurrections were.
And let’s be clear - the Presidential candidate calls those who have plead guilty and been sentenced “political prisoners” and vows to pardon them if elected.
That’s GOP 2024.
