Three years have passed since the infamous January 6 attack on the Capitol building in Washington D.C. In preparation for an upcoming presidential rematch, two officers who bravely defended the Capitol during the insurrection are now lending their support to the Biden campaign.
Officers Conclude Wisconsin Tour in Eau Claire
Officer Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges wrapped up their three-city Wisconsin tour in Eau Claire, emphasizing the importance of their mission to protect democracy.
Background of Officers
Dunn, a former Capitol police officer, and Hodges, serving in the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department during the January 6 attacks, bring firsthand experience and insight to their advocacy for Biden’s reelection.
Concerns Over Trump’s Influence
Both officers express grave concerns over the influence of former president Donald Trump, whom they believe poses a direct threat to democracy by perpetuating and endorsing political violence.
Officer Statements
Dunn remarked, “He encourages and supports political violence. My fellow officers and I witnessed this firsthand on January 6th.” Hodges added, “You cannot claim to support law enforcement and then condone violence. Trump has no place in the oval office.”
Current Status of Officers
While Dunn resigned from the Capitol Police and pursued a political career, Hodges continues to serve in law enforcement and spoke out as a concerned citizen against the dangers of political violence.
Political Landscape in Wisconsin
As Wisconsin gears up for a closely contested fall election, the Biden campaign and its opponents are actively campaigning across the state, with a particular focus on the eastern region.
