Injured DC Cop Condemns Republican Lies About Riot

“They know that they’re lying when they say that. They just say it because they’re afraid. They’re afraid of their own voting bloc. They need their support. So they just say what they want to hear. The politicians say what the people want to hear, even if there is, it’s verifiably false. And it’s incredibly frustrating to hear that from our would-be leadership. And I hope that as time goes on, those lies become more and more apparent for what they are and people stop parroting them.” – Capitol Police officer Daniel Hodges, when asked about GOP claims that rioters were mere tourists. A video of Hodges screaming in agony while being crushed by a door went viral after the insurrection.
