Republicans’ disrespect and indifference to the Capitol and Washington, DC police, and their heroism in defending democracy during the Trump Capitol rebellion on January 6 brought shame to their party. Fox News entertainment experts humiliated completely fake reporters mocking the emotional testimony of officials Gonnell, Fanone, Hodges, and Dunne before the House Committee on January 6. These cowards have never served their country, never risked their lives to protect democracy, and they are all about conspiracy theories, promoting white American identity, and of course making money.
Biden praised the heroism and patriotism of the officers, and said: “To all of them, on behalf of a grateful country, thank you, thank you, thank you for protecting our Capitol. Perhaps more importantly, protecting Our constitution. And save the lives of officially elected members of the Senate and House of Representatives and their staff.” It’s like watching the current president praising the police for defending our democracy in the twilight city, while our democracy has been met by the former president. Attacks by mobs sent to destroy democracy. What is even more strange is why the Justice Department has not acted to accuse Trump of inciting rebellion and making “big lies” to maintain the threat to democracy.
Biden signed a bill on Tuesday, and the Senate unanimously passed the bill, approving the award of four congressional gold medals, two of which will be displayed at the Capitol Police and Washington, DC headquarters, and the other will be displayed at the Smithsonian Museum. The pieces are on display in the Capitol. In June, 21 Republican members of the House of Representatives voted against awarding medals to Congress officials. These members need to be remembered as fans of the uprising and supporters of the former president of white supremacy. When choosing whom not to vote for, please remember these names in the mid-term;

Republican congressmen who support Trump’s false statement about the stolen election believe that the Capitol and Washington, DC police are traitors to their cause of overthrowing Joe Biden’s legitimate presidential election. As Trump continued to spread the falsehood of election theft, these officials and many others in the Senate remained silent. In their silence, they became passive rebels and violated their oath of office. Senators like Lisa Murkowsky of Alsska, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, and Susan Collins of Maine sometimes try to distinguish themselves from Trump’s adoration, but in their voting records and cowardly silence Among them, they are Trump crimes and slow democratization of democracy..
When President Biden paid tribute to the courage and patriotism of the Capitol and the police in Washington, DC today, he reminded us what it means to “heal the soul of America.” Biden took patriotism, compassion, gratitude, and honesty as an example, and reminded us how important it is to fight the extremist faction that Trump’s Republican Party currently only cares about keeping America white and making money for the rich.
