Apparently No Lives Matter anymore.

Former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn on Wednesday said President Trump is using his “anti-weaponization” fund to put Jan. 6, 2021, rioters on a “retainer” ahead of the next presidential election.

“This payment is going to serve as a retainer. People have retainers for their lawyers. So when they need them, they’re available,” Dunn said during a Wednesday appearance on CNN’s “AC360.”

“Donald Trump is putting a retainer on a mob, on a militia that’s already showed the violence that they’re willing to enact on his behalf. And he’s incentivizing it, too,” he added.
