Today at the White House, President Joe Biden presented the Capitol and DC police with the Congressional Gold Medal. On the contrary, the former president of false law and order refuses to thank and honor these heroes, instead telling the rioters of the insurrection that he “loved them” and that they will always remember this day. ” that Trump only supports law enforcement when they are beating up black men or assaulting peaceful black protesters. Capitol Police refer to Trump as the “hit man” who sent a mob to kill them if they got in the way. the path of his blow.
Republicans are shaming their party for the disrespect and disinterest they show towards the Capitol and the DC police and the heroism they displayed on January 6 defending democracy during Trump’s Capitol uprising. Fox News entertainment experts dishonor bogus journalists who mocked the emotional testimony of Officers Gonnell, Fanone, Hodges and Dunne before the Jan. 6 House Committee. These are weaklings who have never served their country, never risked their lives to protect democracy and are about conspiracy theories, promoting white identity in America, and of course making money.
Biden praised the heroism and patriotism of the officers, saying, “To all of them, on behalf of a grateful nation, thank you, thank you, thank you for protecting our Capitol. Perhaps even more important, protect our Constitution. And saving the lives of the duly elected members of the Senate and House and their staff. “It was like being in the twilight zone, seeing the current president praising police officers for defending our democracy that was being attacked by a mob that the Former President Sent to Destroy Democracy Even stranger is why the Justice Department hasn’t moved to accuse Trump of inciting insurrection and creating the “big lie” to keep the threat to democracy alive.
Biden signed a bill that was passed unanimously by the Senate on Tuesday approving the awarding of four Congressional gold medals, two of which will be displayed at the Capitol and DC Police headquarters, another at the Smithsonian Museum and one on display at Capitol Bldg. In June, 21 Republican House members voted against awarding medals to Capitol officials.

Republican members of Congress who support Trump’s false claims about a stolen election see the Capitol and the DC police as traitors to their cause of overturning Joe Biden’s legitimate election as president. These officials and many others in the Senate remain silent as Trump continues to spread the lie of a stolen election. In their silence, they have become passive insurgents and have broken their oath. Senators like Lisa Murkowsky of Alsska, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, and Susan Collins of Maine sometimes try to separate themselves from the Trump cult, but in their voting records and weak silence, they are true facilitators of his crimes and the slow dismantling of democracy. .
In honoring the bravery and patriotism of the Capitol and DC police today, President Biden reminded us of what it means to “heal the soul of America.” Biden models patriotism, compassion, appreciation and honesty and reminds us how important it is to fight the current extremist wing of the Trump-Republican party that only cares about keeping America white and making money for the rich.
