Congressional Gold Medal Vote for January 6 police officers get “No” vote from 21 Republicans

 

On Tuesday, 21 House Republicans voted against legislation to award the Congressional Gold Medal to the officers who defended the Capitol and led all the congresspersons to safety while they dealt with a violent mob. This brings across the fact that some Republican members are unable to agree on the facts of the insurrection on January 6. Earlier, the Senate Republicans refused to vote for a 9/11 style commission to look into all aspects of the riot.

 

The final vote in the House was 406-21. The vote shows that there is still tension in Congress as some representatives refuse to accept what actually happened as they try to cover up the violence and unruly behavior of the frenzied mob who were out to do as much damage as possible. The mob was restrained due to the bravery of the rank and file while the higher ups were spending time contemplating on action rather than acting quickly to defuse the situation.

 

Republicans who voted against awarding the Congressional Gold Medal are

 

  • Lauren Boebert of Colorado
  • John Rose of Tennessee
  • Andy Harris of Maryland
  • Thomas Massie of Kentucky
  • Bob Good of Virginia
  • Louie Gohmert of Texas
  • Barry Moore of Alabama
  • Ralph Norman of South Carolina
  • Matt Rosendale of Montana
  • Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia
  • Chip Roy of Texas
  • Paul Gosar of Arizona
  • Andy Biggs of Arizona
  • Warren Davidson of Ohio
  • Scott Perry of Pennsylvania
  • Matt Gaetz of Florida
  • Greg Steube of Florida
  • Andrew Clyde of Georgia
  • Jody Hice of Georgia
  • Mary Miller of Illinois
  • Michael Cloud of Texas

 

Both the Senate and the House had passed their own resolutions to award the medals, but the earlier   legislation was different. The new bills will now bestow three medals:

 

  1. To the entire US Capitol force
  2. To the Metropolitan Police Department
  3. On display at the Smithsonian Museum with a plaque that has a list of all the law enforcement agencies that protected and defended the Capitol on January 6

 

 

CNN asked these 21 Republicans the reason why they voted against the bill. Some of them said that the objected to the language including the use of the word “insurrection,” while others ignored the question.

 

Some Republicans including Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger were perturbed by the behavior of their party members
