Senate Passes Bill Awarding Capitol Police With Medals of Honor for Jan. 6

Senator Amy Klobuchar said the medals are "a recognition that will be on display for people to understand and remember what these officers did."

I think they would prefer the people there on Jan. 6 get prosecuted. Plus the people who paid for it, the people that got the crowd riled up, and the republicans that were involved. Let not forget TRUMP and anyone who made speeches to incite the violence.

Are they sayingpeople deserve the medle of honor because they shot a Trump suporter?
"Congrats" I guess?

In case you wanted to know how out of touch our politicians are.

There are POG’s that have seen more action than those pussies.

How many cops were executed in Minn during "his" riots?

And now not even the Medal of Honor means anything.

The sad part is the military knew this was going to happen but failed to let the capital popo know.

There goes the prestige of a medal of honor.

All the police who are dodging Molotov cocktails and trying to keep courthouses and their own stations from being burned to the ground should be given a truckload of medals for what they have dealt with over the past few years.

It's insulting to the brave recipients in our nation's history who have given much more than all those policemen in those departments combined. Maybe it's for collectively wiping their asses in unison with OBiden.

Never seen that many jackasses in one row. Imagine the slithering snakes inside their shrunken heads.

What the fuck? The MoH is for military members only. Goddamn politicians need to eff off and stay in their lane.

Actually they're getting the Congressional Gold Medal. Newsweek was mistaken.

Legislation to honor the Capitol Police and Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department with Congressional Gold Medals — in recognition of their heroism in protecting members of Congress from pro-Trump rioters on Jan. 6 — is headed to President Joe Biden’s desk for his signature.

The Senate passed, by unanimous consent, a bill that would provide four Congressional Gold Medals to the Capitol Police and those who protected the Capitol during the attack. The medals will be displayed at the Capitol Police headquarters, Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, the Smithsonian Institution and the Capitol.

The House passed the bill in June on a 406-21 vote.

Congressional Gold Medals are given to people or institutions as Congress’ “highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions,” as the House historian’s website puts it.
