Officer Dunn Moves Capehart To Tears With Insight On Protecting Congress

Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn brought nearly the entire MSNBC panel on which he appeared to tears with his answer to Jonathan Capehart's question about protecting those who dismiss the insurrection as no big deal. Appearing with Rep. Madeleine Dean and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, Dunn surprised them all.

CAPEHART: Officer Dunn, how does it feel to work at a complex, on a complex, surrounded by people who have tried to downplay what happened on January 6th?

DUNN: So, you know, doing your job as a police officer, you look at what's important and how with the mission of your job is, and with all respect to Congresswoman Dean there, the person is not important, but the seat that they represent is important. As long as you keep that perspective, you're able to do your job. Because it is not about a person, you think about what is -- what that seat represents, and that's the thousands, hundreds, millions of people that that seat represents. If it was a different person before that Congress person, it will be somebody after, so the seat is -- the seat --

CAPEHART: So, Congresswoman Dean, you serve in the chamber, in the House, you serve inside Congress. How afraid are you that January 6th-type insurrection could happen again?
