At the U.S. Capitol today, several police officers who were on duty on January 6, 2021 when thousands of pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building were given gold medals for their bravery on that fateful day.
The Congressional Gold Medal is the highest honor Congress can bestow on any American, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) thanked the officers before they were given their awards.
“Exactly 23 months ago, our nation suffered the most staggering assault on democracy since the Civil War. 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.”
In the videos below, you can see each officer shaking hands with Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), but each one then refuses to shake the outstretched hand of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
Twitter gave the officers a standing ovation for their righteous dissing of McConnell and McCarthy.
