According to one of the Capitol cops who suffered injuries on Jan. 6 when supporters of Donald Trump staged an insurrection and sent members of Congress fleeing for their lives, he and his colleagues worry that the same Republicans he protected that day will turn their backs on them again if history repeats itself in 2024.
In an interview with Salon's Chauncey DeVega, Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, one of four officers who testified before the House select committee investigating Donald Trump's part in inciting the riot, suggested Capitol police would be "restrained" by Republicans from repelling a second attack.
Gonell started off by asserting that some Trump supporters think nothing bad happened on Jan. 6, while others acknowledge what occurred but downplay how bad it was.

What a joke. You don't have to worry anymore. Pelosi isn't Speaker of the House anymore so someone responsible is in charge of security. It won't happen again.
Quote: "House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving, who answered to Pelosi as one of three voting members of the Capitol Police Board, “succumbed to political pressures from the Office of Speaker Pelosi and House Democrat leadership,” was “compromised by politics and did not adequately prepare for violence at the Capitol.”"
