Capitol Police Officer Sets Internet on Fire with Jan. 6 Hearing Testimony, Suggests Committing Violence Against Trump

OPINION | This article contains commentary that reflects the author's opinion.

A Capitol Police sergeant made disturbing comments about former President Donald Trump.

Sgt. Aquilino Gonell suggested people go to Trump’s house and put on display the violence Capitol police officers experienced on Jan. 6.

Gonell later apologized for the horrible comment.

These comments came during his testimony in front of the House Select Committee during the investigation into the incursion of the Capitol.

Republican Rep. Liz Cheney reportedly asked Gonell “how he felt when he heard Trump say ‘there was a lot of love’ in the crowd of people who attended the rally before the incursion.”

Gonell responded, “It’s upsetting. It’s a pathetic excuse of his behavior for something that he himself helped to create this monstrosity.”

“I’m still recovering from those ‘hugs and kisses’ that day. He claimed that so many rioters, terrorists were assaulting us that day. If that was hugs and kisses, then we should all go to his house and do the same thing to him.”

More from Western Journal:

Gonell was one of the police officers who responded to the attack that day. Three other officers testified at the first hearing of the select committee, The New York Times reported.

Republican leaders boycotted the session.

PBS NewsHour correspondent Lisa Desjardins tweeted that Gonell later apologized for his comment and said “he did not mean to suggest anyone should go to Trump’s house”… About 140 police officers were injured during the incursion of the Capitol while Congress was in session to certify the results of the 2020 election.
