Trump's thugs. McCarthy shame. "Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn said one group of rioters, perhaps 20 people, screamed the n-word at him as he was trying to keep them from breaching the House chamber — racial insults he said he had never experienced while in uniform. At the end of that day, he sat down in the Capitol Rotunda and sobbed.
“I became very emotional and began yelling, ’How the (expletive) can something like this happen?” Dunn testified. “Is this America?”
“My blood is red,” he said. “I’m an American citizen. I’m a police officer. I’m a peace officer.”"

To oystersnbeer's - Republicans have shot themselves in the foot. It will be interesting to see how they will try to interfere.
— Their testimony alone is a public relations disaster for Republicans. The GOP likes to boast that they “back the blue” and are the party of “law and order.” But in snuffing out the possibility of a nonpartisan commission to probe the Jan. 6 attacks, McCarthy effectively brushed aside pleas from law enforcement to authorize the investigation. Now, after pulling out from the select committee, Republicans (save for Cheney and Kinzinger) will be absent as the officers speak.
