WATCH: Cable Airs Gripping Uncensored Testimony of Officer Who Was Called ‘F*cking N***er’ By Trump Insurrectionists
Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn revealed that the Trump fans who participated in the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection chanted “F*cking N***er” and other racist abuse at him, in testimony that was aired uncensored by all three cable networks.
During Tuesday’s first day of hearings before the January 6th House Select Committee, Officer Dunn described the events of the day, and in one particularly devastating passage, talked about the racist abuse that he and other Black officers endured from supporters of then-President Donald Trump, whom the rioters said “invited” them to attack:
More and more insurrectionists were pouring into the area by the Speaker’s Lobby near the rotunda. And some wearing MAGA hats and shirts that said Trump 2020. I told them to just leave the Capitol, and in response they yelled “No man, this is our house. President Trump invited us here. We are here to stop the steal. Joe Biden is not the president. Nobody voted for Joe Biden!”
I’m a law enforcement officer, and I do my best to keep politics out of my job, but in this circumstance I responded “Well I voted for Joe Biden. Does my vote not count? Am I nobody?”
That prompted a torrent of racial epithets. One woman in a pink MAGA shirt yelled “You hear that guys? This n***er voted for Joe Biden!”
Then the crowd, perhaps around 20 people, joined in the screaming “Boo! Fucking n***er!”
No one had ever ever called me a n***er while wearing the uniform of capital police officer.
In the days following the attempted insurrection, other Black officers shared with me their own stories of racial abuse on January 6th. One officer told me he had never in his entire 40 years of life been called a n***er to his face. And that streak ended on January 6th.
Yet another Black officer later told me he had been confronted by insurrectionists in the Capitol who told him “Put your gun down and we’ll show you what kind of n***er you really are.”
