January 6 select committee updates: Emotional testimony from officer, Cheney demands answers (1142 hits)


January 6 select committee updates: Emotional testimony from officer, Cheney demands answers

Mabinty Quarshie and Matthew Brown, USA TODAY

Capitol Police Sgt. Auilino Gonell delivered an emotional opening statement to the committee, saying he “did not recognize my fellow citizens,” during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

An army veteran, Gonell said his experience during the insurrection was more threatening to his life than serving in Iraq. “I was more afraid to work at the Capitol than my entire deployment to Iraq,” he said.

“Nothing in my experience in the army or as a law enforcement officer prepared me for what we confronted in January 6th.”

During his statement, Gonell described being called a traitor and “falsely accused of betraying my oath.” He said he was shocked at being violently attacked by rioters using the American flag.

“My fellow officers and I were committed to not letting any rioters breach the Capitol. It was a very prolonged and desperate struggle,” Gonell told the committee.

Gonell also described thinking he would die defending the Capitol.

In between emotional pauses, he said he worked for 15 consecutive days after the insurrection because he wanted to help secure the Capitol.

Six months since the riot, Gonell is still recovering from injuries. He will need more surgery and has had “painful and hard” physical therapy.

These four men had a chance to tell their story and placed the whole event at the foot of TRUMP.

These four men are the Hero's. These four men are who The Republicans don't want you to hear but yet FREEDOM to lean the truth prevailed, that is democracy.

What Republicans now, will talk against these powerful words, these powerful facts?

The Truth is coming out Steve and you can’t stop it now. Thank You U.S. Capital Police for your service.

All these events will culminate in future elections. We will win that fight. We won't let you federalize our elections. Your January 6 commission is a sideshow.

Hey Ron, how is navigating IEDs in Iraq less scary than a rumble in D.C.? And you believe that ****.

Yes… Steve I believe that Steve, just like I now believe that Police promoting people before Trump got into office, now are fighting the police in the streets and in the halls of The United States Capital Building, Spraying them with Bear Repellent, Breaking US Capitol building windows over a LIE, who would had thought that before January 6th 2021?

That happened didn’t it?

All you saw was the RED MEGA HATS everywhere in the halls of the U.S. Capital Building, Steve don’t you see them?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
I guess you pissed off the wrong people. Why did you do that Ron? Look what it got you. Nothing but trouble.

The RED MEGA were NOT supposed to be in The U.S. Captial in the first place Steve but they too believed TRUMP'S BIG LIE and now they are facing jail time. That's Justice.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
The cops let the MAGAs into the Capitol.

Go to minute 1:25

That clip is proving my point, here take a look.

What we saw happen on Wednesday was the apparent murder of a Police Office by members of a mob incited and directed to The Capital by The President Of The United States of America, who hoped they would successfully intimidate members of congress out of certifying the rightfully Democratic victory of his political opponent.

From minute 1:25.



Thursday, August 5th 2021 at 11:17PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
I showed you the evidence Ron. You can see the cops talking to the crowd and then they let them in, right through the front door.

Friday, August 6th 2021 at 12:14AM

The Captial Police was out maned and Trump wanted to keep it that way until he found out about that his mission failed. Steve, Trump told you that he had evidence that the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen from him.

Steve, do you still believe TRUMP?




Friday, August 6th 2021 at 1:00AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Trump still has my vote, strong as ever.

Friday, August 6th 2021 at 1:12AM

That is your right.

Now back to seeking the TRUTH about January 6th seeds of the United States Capitol building.

Friday, August 6th 2021 at 7:30PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
"Seeds of the United States Capitol building." That's right, we seeded the Capitol with patriots.

Now back to seeking the TRUTH about the January 6th siege of the United States Capitol building.

Steve, You seeded the Capitol with Heathens, pagan · infidel · idolater · idolatress · unbeliever · nonbeliever · disbeliever · atheist · nontheist · agnostic · sceptic · heretic · paynim · nullifidian because that what's your group is all about.

On the afternoon of Wednesday, January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., was stormed during a riot and violent attack against the U.S. Congress. A mob of supporters of President Donald Trump attempted to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election by disrupting the joint session of Congress assembled to count electoral votes to formalize President-elect Joe Biden's victory. The Capitol Complex was locked down and lawmakers and staff were evacuated while rioters occupied and vandalized the building for several hours. Five people died either shortly before, during, or after the event: one was shot by Capitol Police, one died of a drug overdose, and three succumbed to natural causes. Many people were injured, including 138 police officers. Four officers who responded to the riot died by suicide within seven months.

That's what happens when you weaponize a pandemic.

It doesn't look like you learned your lesson.

Friday, August 6th 2021 at 10:47PM

I did not take siege of The U.S. Capital, that is what happens when the President of the United States of America uses the power of LIES to his weak-minded followers.


Friday, August 6th 2021 at 11:12PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
That's what happens when you weaponize a pandemic. No, you haven't learned your lesson Ron. Instead you're attempting to weaponize it again, under the thin disguise of "delta."


Saturday, August 7th 2021 at 2:01AM

NO Steve, this is what nearly happen because of LIES that you can't provide any proof of and that is the reason why the U.S. courts laughed TRUMP'S BULL💩 claims out of the U.S. Courts System period.

Tell me and the people here on Black In America what courts of The United States of America sided with TRUMP claims of Voter Fraud, even Bill Barr told TRUMP that he did not see any widespread voter fraud and Bill Barr served as TRUMP American attorney who served as the 77th and 85th United States attorney general in the administrations of Presidents George H. W. Bush and Donald Trump.

Now if Bill Barr told you and TRUMP In an interview published Sunday, former Attorney General William Barr bashed former President Donald Trump’s efforts to spread misinformation about the 2020 election, calling Trump’s lies about voter fraud “bull****.”

You can read more: AG Bill Barr reportedly told a US attorney 'I am going to f---ing fire your a--' if he talked to Matt Gaetz about DOJ business https://www.businessinsider.com/barr-said-... I 'am sure you remember BILL BARR don't you?

That was TRUMP's Right Hand Man, you remember him don't you? Do you remember that Bill Barr was much closer to TRUMP than you were?
