Ex-US Capitol cop, Jan. 6 rioter’s runs for Congress illustrate a divided America
Former U.S. Capitol police officer Harry Dunn and former mob participant Derrick Evans are both running for Congress in Maryland and West Virginia, respectively, after the events of Jan. 6, 2021. Dunn is motivated by his experience defending lawmakers during the attack, while Evans was among the mob that entered the Capitol illegally. Both candidates emphasize the need to defend the U.S. Constitution, but they have different agendas and approaches to politics. Dunn has raised more campaign funds and received endorsements, while Evans focuses on issues like building Trump’s border wall and term limits for Congress members.
