A former U.S. Capitol police officer, now running for Congress in suburban Maryland, is slamming AIPACs intervention in his race, noting the groups support for dozens of Republicans who objected to certifying the 2020 election results even after the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.

Harry Dunn, who endured anti-Black racism while defending the Capitol from rioters on Jan. 6, said the hundreds of thousands of dollars that the United Democracy Project a super PAC affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee is spending in his race amounts to a threat to the democratic norms he fought to uphold during the infamous effort by violent demonstrators to prevent Congress from certifying President Joe Biden s election.

Every candidate for Marylands Third Congressional District should immediately condemn this dark money spending bankrolled by MAGA Republicans , Dunn said. Candidates who receive this support accept the endorsement of an organization that has backed candidates and members of Congress who incited the rioters I fought on January 6th and tried to overthrow our democracy.

Dunn is also due to hold a press conference on Wednesday morning about rejecting MAGA super PAC money.
