Capitol Police officer rips the right-wing's 'hypocrisy' of calling Kyle Rittenhouse a 'hero' while

ignoring and insulting those who defended the Capitol

A Capitol Police officer said on Wednesday that it was "disheartening" to see prominent figures on the right hailing Kyle Rittenhouse as a "hero" and expressing sympathy for his emotional state, while mocking those who defended the Capitol during the deadly January 6 insurrection.

"Kinda disheartening to see how some prominent people, prop Kyle Rittenhouse up as a hero, yet the brave men and women who fought and defended the Capitol on 1/6 have to continue to fight just for the TRUTH to be told about that day," US Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn tweeted.

"I have been called every name in the book since my testimony," he added, referring to his emotional July testimony to the January 6 House Select Committee, during which he repeatedly broke down in tears. "A political pawn, a sellout, a fake cop, a disgrace to the badge, Pelosi puppet, hell even a local Police Union put out a statement attacking me while I was running for Chairman of our Police Union."

"It's sad to see some of the same people who said these things, praise Rittenhouse or just remain silent," Dunn continued. Fox News host Laura Ingraham "gave Sgt. Gonell, Michael Fanone and myself actor awards for showing emotion during our testimony.... But Rittenhouse??? #HypocrisyReeks"
