The longterm girlfriend of late Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died following the Jan. 6 riot, says that the GOP senators who blocked the creation of a commission to investigate the insurrection have effectively spat in Sicknick's face.
In an interview with "CBS This Morning" released on Tuesday, Sicknick's partner Sandra Garza and his mother Gladys Sicknick, both of whom had lobbied lawmakers personally for the commission's creation, said the senators who voted it down had disrespected his memory.
"I'm disgusted that the Republican senators, that decided to vote no. It's a spit in the face to Brian, it's a spit in the face to all the officers that were there that day," Garza said.
She said that she and Sicknick were previous backers of then-President Trump, whose supporters stormed the Capitol in effort to block the certification of President Biden's Electoral College victory, but both Garza and Sicknick's mother now cast blame on Trump.
"He knew that Brian was devoted to him, and he did not once reach out to me, to Gladys, he didn't even send a letter of condolences. He did absolutely nothing. And so, you know, it's very upsetting, you know, that he's not - and I would meet with him, actually. I would. I would meet with him," Garza said.

Is she 'upset' that the Senate did not vote for the commission because of Trump's involvement with the Insurrection - or is she 'upset' that she didn't get a note of condolence from IQ45 - after all, they had been 'backers' of him.
