Retired Capitol Police Sergeant Aquilino Gonell on Thursday vented to CBS’s Scott MacFarlane about fat former President Trump’s campaign stop at the wake for slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller.
“This is the same person who calls the rioters ‘patriots, political prisoners, and hostages’ instead of calling them for what they are… convicted criminals… Imagine Trump calling the criminal who killed this officer in NYC ‘a hostage’ or anything but a criminal. That’s what he is doing to the January 6 criminals who beat officers and breach the Capitol,” said Gonell. “The death of the officer in New York is tragic and reminds all of us of the sacrifices and commitment the men and women in uniform make every day… I hope the full extent of the law is applied to bring this officer’s killer to justice.”
