Watch: Man reacts to Trump glorifying rioter who battered his late Capitol officer brother [View all]

A man who's now-deceased brother was a Capitol officer who was beaten by rioters on Jan. 6 lamented the fact that Donald Trump was now boosting the individual who assaulted his family member.

The brother of Brian Sicknick, the late United States Capitol Police officer who suffered from a fatal stroke the day after battling Trump-supporting rioters, appeared on CNN Friday night. It's not the first time he has had tough words for the ex-president. In this case, however, the host asked about how Trump "plays a recording of the January six defendants singing the star-spangled banner."

"I wonder how you react when you see the president celebrating that day, not, not even running away from it, but celebrating it," the host said.

"He's disgusting, but I know I'm not going to change anybody's mind. By the way, the video that came out along with those people singing, the national anthem, the person who picks up the phone on a president is the very same person who assaulted my brother."

"Really, that's amazing, the same person," the anchor responded Friday.
