Capitol police officer questions loyalty of Republicans who were in contact with Capitol rioters

US Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell said he questions the loyalty of the Republicans who may have been in contact with the rioters during the January 6 insurrection.

"We risked our lives to give them enough time to get to safety," Gonell said in an interview with NPR. "And allegedly, some of them were in communication with some of the rioters and with some of the coordinators or in the know of what would happen,"

"And it makes you question their motives and their loyalty for the country, as we were battling the mob in a brutal battle where I could have lost my life and my dear fellow officers, as well," he added.

Gonell also said that it's tough to run into the Republicans who continue to support the rioters and downplay the violence during the riot.
