A former police officer attacked during the January 6 insurrection was heckled outside the Capitol by a rioter pardoned by Donald Trump.
Former U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn was confronted aftera gathering on the Capitol steps Wednesday honoring fellow fallen officer Brian Sicknick, who died after suffering two strokes the day after he was attacked and sprayed with bear mace during the riot.
While the D.C. Medical Examiner ruled the death resulted from natural causes, the report noted that “all that transpired” during the Capitol attack “played a role” in Sicknick’s death.
“I was just appalled” by the pardons, Sicknick’s mother, Gladys Sicknick, said at the gathering, WUSA9-TV reported.
“All these people that are going to do bad, they say, ‘Well, I can do it. All these people got off, so I can do what I want,’” she noted.
Sicknick’s bother Ken also railed against the pardons.”Brian died defending the United States Capitol against a mob of thousands that were sent by, who many believe, a fear-mongering narcissist who … currently resides, at the White House. The mob wielded chemical sprays, Tasers, baseball bats, sharpened flagpoles as well as guns,” he said.
As Dunn walked away from the building at the end of the event he was confronted by Brandon Fellows, a pardoned felon who was sentenced to 42 months in prison for a variety of offenses at the Capitol, including obstruction of an official proceeding, and disorderly and disruptive conduct.
Fellows taunted Dunn that he seemed “upset.”
“Damn right I’m upset,” Dunn responded.
Fellows admonished: ‘Yeah, well you should be. You should probably control your emotions.”
Dunn indicated to Fellows that he was no with “10,000 of your thugs.” He taunted: “Pull this same s*** that you did on January 6th! Pull that s*** now! Pull it now.”
Fellows bragged to Dunn that he “had a blast” at the White House, and “took some epic selfies.” He told the former officer: “You should probably lose some weight.”
A bystander shouted at Fellows: “You know you’re a loser, right?”
He answered: “Stay mad.”
