Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards said she was mocked and insulted by the pro-Trump mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol.
Ms. Edwards testified about her experience on duty during the riot for the House Jan. 6 committee’s prime-time TV hearing Thursday,
She recalled being called a series of disparaging names.
“I was called Nancy Pelosi’s dog, called incompetent, called a hero and a villain,” Ms. Edwards said. “I was called a traitor to my country, my oath and my Constitution.”
Ms. Edwards, in her emotional testimony, added that she was a “proud American” who was protecting the nation.
