Ex-Captain Attacked Harry Dunn Stunned by Planned Jan. 6 Awards Event at Trump Golf Club

Ex-Captain Attacked Harry Dunn Stunned by Planned Jan. 6 Awards Event at Trump Golf Club

Former police officer Harry Dunn, who was attacked during the violent storming of the Capitol at the end of the Trump administration, is furious about a planned Jan. 6 insurrection awards and fundraiser at Donald Trump’s New Jersey golf club.

The former president has “expressed interest” in attending the controversial event, which was to be held at his Bedminster club to honor and raise money for the criminals who stormed the Capitol after Trump lost the 2020 presidential election, an NBC spokesman said last week.

But the event, which was supposed to take place this Thursday, was suddenly postponed until the weekend, without a date, according to the website of the “awards gala” at which the former president plays a major role. No reason was given.

According to the New York Times, Trump ultimately decided not to attend the ceremony.

“Honoring the insurgents? This is Look“, news anchor Sam Stein quipped when asking Dunn for his opinion on MSNBC Sunday.

“Does anyone really get surprised?” the disgusted former policeman asked.

Stein noted that Trump often presents himself to police as a friend.

“He supports you if you are loyal to him” his“, Dunn replied. “The point is that we are loyal to the oath” to uphold the law, “loyal to the Constitution, not to the individual.”

The former officer complained that Trump still wears the violence of his supporters on January 6 “like a badge of honor.”

Trump and his supporters “continue to downplay the significance of what happened” that day, not “what everyone saw with their own eyes,” he added.

“I will not stop standing up to these lies,” Dunn vowed.

“Most reasonable people” know that “Donald Trump” was responsible for the violence that day, he stressed.

Dunn warned that Trump would once again “sow the seeds” of violence if he doesn’t get what he wants this time and loses the presidential election.

But “now we have an adult in the White House who will be responsible for responding if something bad happens,” Dunn noted, instead of the hours Trump spent watching his supporters maraud through the Capitol on television.

The gala was ultimately postponed due to “a number of issues beyond our control, the most significant of which were safety concerns for attendees and staff,” according to a text message from an alleged organizer obtained by The Times.

According to reports, the event may be postponed after the elections.

Dunn was one of about 140 police officers attacked during the Capitol riot, some beaten with flagpoles and repeatedly pepper-sprayed in the face.

One Capitol Police officer, 42-year-old Brian Sicknick, died of two strokes a day after he was physically assaulted and pepper-sprayed.

“There was an attack on January 6, and a hitman sent them,” Dunn testified, referring to Trump, before a House of Representatives committee investigating the violence.

“I wonder why all Americans are not united in the pursuit of justice and accountability” during the insurrection, Dunn later wrote in a CNN editorial on the third anniversary of the attack.

Dunn, who served in the Capitol Police for 15 years, announced his retirement last December.
