As Trump rewrites history, victims of the Jan. 6 riot say they feel 'betrayed'

Victimes of Jan6 feel betrayed

For the millions of Americans who watch the presidential inauguration every four years, the Lower West Terrace Tunnel of the U.S. Capitol is a familiar site.

The incoming president walks through that tunnel and on to the inaugural platform, before taking the oath of office.

On Jan. 6, 2021, it was a crime scene - the site of a bloody, hourslong struggle between law enforcement and a mob of supporters of President-elect Donald Trump.

"My fellow officers and I were punched, kicked, shoved, sprayed with chemical irritants by a violent mob," Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell testified to Congress about his experience in the tunnel on Jan. 6. "I could feel myself losing oxygen and recall thinking to myself: 'this is how I'm going to die - defending this entrance.'"

Now, Trump is poised to walk through that same tunnel again as president-elect, after he successfully campaigned on a message that people convicted and charged of crimes for their actions on Jan. 6 are "political prisoners" and "patriots" who deserve presidential pardons. Trump opened his first rally of the presidential campaign with a rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner" recorded from a jailhouse phone by Jan. 6 defendants, including an alleged "Nazi sympathizer" and others accused of violent assault. During the campaign, he referred to Jan. 6 as a "day of love."
