Senate approves medals for cops defending the Capitol during Jan 6 storming

On Tuesday, the Senate unanimously approved a bill that will award Congressional gold medals to Washington, D.C., Metro and Capitol law enforcement officers who were working when demonstrators stormed the Capitol on January 6.

The House previously passed the bill in June despite pushback from over 20 Republican lawmakers who argued language in the bill labeling the demonstration as an “insurrection” was disingenuous. The bill now heads to President Joe Biden’s desk.

“Every day, the United States Capitol Police (“Capitol Police”) protects the U.S. Capitol, Members of Congress, congressional staff and institutional staff, journalists, and the visiting public,” the bill states. “On January 6, 2021, a mob of insurrectionists forced its way into the U.S. Capitol building and congressional office buildings and engaged in acts of vandalism, looting, and violently attacked Capitol Police officers.”

The bill also highlights “the sacrifice of heroes” including Capitol Police Officers Brian Sicknick, who died of natural causes following the storming, according to NBC News.

Hope they are blood red in honor of the cold blooded murder of a peaceful protester.

Are they giving a medal to the person who murdered Ashli Babbitt?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Good point.  Michael Lloyd Byrd.  Big, burley, supporter of BLM....shot an UNARMED,  110 pound woman in the neck.  She was no threat. VETERAN.  It was murder.

Just one more award I will consider a badge of worthlessness.

I would be skeptical of receiving an award since so many of these guys have 'committed suicide'.

The medals may be laced with arsenic to finish the job on the remainder of witnesses to what happened.

They might be manufactured by a company owned by Hillary.
