During an interview on CNN on Thursday, Sgt. Aquilino Gonell —one of the Capitol officers who was attacked by Trump supporters on January 6— blasted Fox News host Laura Ingraham for mocking the danger he and his fellow officers faced during the violent attack, accusing her of ‘puking out’ lies on her ‘trash’ show about the MAGA riot.
“You have also been a target for some from right wing media. I will play this so everyone can hear,” said anchor Erin Burnett before playing a clip of Ingraham giving Gonell an “award” for his “performance” at this week’s Capitol riot committee hearings.
Ingraham also mocked the officers for “not being able to hold the Capital perimeter on that day as the mob beat them with various blunt objects.
“What is your reaction to someone who would move to belittle what you did?” Burnett asked.

“This is the first time I see that comment coming from this particular person,” said Gonell. “To watch her trash, because that’s what it is, a commentator that would trash somebody who, in my opinion, wasn’t there. So unless you were there in that crowd, being attacked by the rioters, you would not know, and you will never know, you never — my devotion for the country is bigger than the vitriol that she’s puking out… that person never served the country, will never raise her hand like I did so many times.
