Jan 6 families and law enforcement officers who were present during the 2021 Capitol Hill insurrection apparently have ZERO respect for Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy.
Politics:
On Tuesday, the officers were awarded Congressional Gold Medals for their bravery during the deadly Donald Trump-instigated attack.
“Exactly 23 months ago, our nation suffered the most staggering assault on democracy since the Civil War,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said during the ceremony. “Jan. 6 was a day of horror and heartbreak. It is also a moment of extraordinary heroism. Staring down deadly violence and despicable bigotry, our law enforcement officers bravely stood in the breach, ensuring that democracy survived on that dark day.”
The officers were given their medals and then partook in hugs and handshakes with Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. However, when Sen. McConnell and Rep. McCarthy extended their hands of congratulations, the officers and their families — who were clearly still angry at the GOP leaders for continuing to support Trump even after the Capitol Hill attack — ignored the 2 men, refused to shake their hands, and walked right past them as if they were never there.
