Gotta enjoy Trump bashing and defaming police.
Is their no loyalty at all with Trump? These are the same police who stopped three attacks on the White House during Trump's presidency.
In an August 2021 interview with NBC News, Byrd said he'd yelled repeatedly for the rioters to get back, and that he'd fired his weapon as a "last resort."
“If they get through that door, they’re into the House chamber and upon the members of Congress,” Byrd told Lester Holt, adding “I tried to wait as long as I could.”
“I hoped and prayed no one tried to enter through those doors. But their failure to comply required me to take the appropriate action to save the lives of members of Congress and myself and my fellow officers,” he said.
In his post on Truth Social, Trump referred to Byrd, a Black 28-year veteran of the Capitol Police, as a "thug" and a "COWARD, who wanted to show how tough he was. ASHLI BABBITT WAS MURDERED!!!”
Trump’s challenge to McCarthy comes roughly one month after the former president tried to help him capture the speakership by reaching out to Republicans who’d opposed his bid for leadership.
