He added, in an apparent reference to the heated rhetoric that preceded the January 6 riot, that \u201cwe need to make sure we\u2019re prepared and we continue to shoot down all rhetoric that could possibly lead to violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dunn, who pointed out, \u201cEverybody is allowed to have a different political view. That\u2019s what makes America, America. That\u2019s what makes America a democracy,\u201d stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"27\">\n<p><em>I said this and I continue to stand by it, that as long as people are emboldened by people in power, then they\u2019re still a threat for things to happen.

But don\u2019t fight like hell or march down to the Capitol \u2014 first amendment protest is what this country is about, first amendment, the Constitution. That\u2019s the democracy of it. But once you start attacking people, attacking things, then that\u2019s wrong.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And that \u2014 you know what? That goes to the riots this summer. They were wrong. If you peacefully protest, then sure. But the riots and the violence and the damage this summer, they were wrong. They were wrong. And that\u2019s the exact same thing that happened at the Capitol. But their goal was to overthrow democracy, which is a bigger threat to America.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"9.6424050632911\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Officer Dunn: &#8220;The riots and the violence and the damage this summer \u2014 they were wrong.

That\u2019s not my words.

Our greatest achievements still wait. I think one of our great achievements will be election security because nobody until I came along had any idea how corrupt our elections were, and again most people would stand there at 9 o\u2019clock in the evening and say I want to thank you very much, and they go off to some other life, but I said something is wrong here, something is really wrong, can\u2019t have happened and we fight, we fight like hell, and if you don\u2019t fight like hell you\u2019re not going to have a country anymore \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump continued, \u201cSo we are going to\u2014we are going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we are going to the Capitol, and we are going to try and give\u2014the Democrats are hopeless, they are never voting for anything, not even one vote, but we are going to try\u2014give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don\u2019t need any of our help, we\u2019re try\u2014going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country. So let\u2019s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prior to that statement, Trump had stated, \u201cI know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
