Sicknick, during an MSNBC appearance on Friday, gave Chaffetz a history lesson on the events surrounding the Capitol riots.
“He said he was carrying a flag — yes, he was carrying a flag, with a pointy end that struck a police officer,” Sicknick said.
Sicknick appeared on the network after several lawmakers, led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), stopped by the DC prison to check on the treatment of rioters on January 6.
Greene compared the treatment of the rioters to “political prisoners” and Sicknick, on Friday, said the trip was a way to show his “loyalty” to former President Donald Trump along with the rebels.
He noted that nearly 1,000 people have been arrested in connection with the attack and 20 people have been charged with what Just Security notes are “serious criminal offenses” related to the incident on January 6, 2021.
“At least 17 of them have been charged with violent crimes against police officers, this is the party that claims they came back blue but 140 police officers were injured,” said Sicknick.
