Jan. 6 riot victims, Democrats see hypocrisy in Trump’s response to L.A. protests

Victims of the U.S. Capitol siege express outrage over the Trump administration’s contrasting responses to police confrontations during recent protests in Los Angeles and the Capitol riot on January 6. Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn criticized Trump’s portrayal of January 6 as a “day of love,” highlighting the hypocrisy in how the administration condemns violence in California while defending Capitol rioters. Critics argue that Trump’s actions and rhetoric create a dangerous false equivalency between the two events, exacerbating political tensions further.
