Commanders defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio has recently been under fire for a tweet he sent out on Jan. 6, 2022, one year after the insurrection at the Capitol. He was asked about the tweet on Wednesday, and he brushed off the insurrection a “dust-up.”
In his initial Twitter reply, Del Rio asked why the attempted insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 was being investigated, while what he described as “riots” during summer 2020 were not. During the summer of 2020, there were nationwide protests after the death of George Floyd, who was killed by Minneapolis law enforcement.
