responded on Jan. 6

Twenty-one House Republicans on Tuesday voted against awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to all police officers who responded to the Jan. 6 violent attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.

The measure passed the House with overwhelming, bipartisan support from 406 lawmakers. But the 21 Republicans who voted “no” drew immediate condemnation from some of their colleagues, and the vote underscored the still-lingering tensions in Congress amid efforts by some GOP lawmakers to whitewash the events of that day.

Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.) called the “no” votes “a sad commentary on the @HouseGOP,” while Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) declared, “How you can vote no to this is beyond me.”

“Then again, denying an insurrection is as well,” Kinzinger, a vocal critic of former president Donald Trump, said in a tweet. “To the brave Capitol (and DC metro PD) thank you. To the 21: they will continue to defend your right to vote no anyway.”

5. At least the Q's are consistent...

I could have guessed correctly about most of these traitors...

At some point, these votes will come back to haunt these treasonous insurrectionists, I can't wait to see how long it takes.

[AZLD4Candidate]

9. Gohmert, Boebert, Greene, Biggs, Gosar, Clyde, Good, and Gaetz

Why am I not surprised?

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

18. Yep, the usual suspects...

I am really coming to despise Paul Gosar. Arizona is such a beautiful state but it is sad that such excrement as Gosar has been elected as one of its representatives. Andy Biggs is another despicable MFer the Grand Canyon state sent to Washington.

It is easy to see why Gosar's own family wants nothing to do with him.

6. Unbelievable

[bucolic_frolic]

7. Seems to me these 21 have devalued the police

[AZLD4Candidate]

11. Watch them fly that blue and white American flag with the blue line on it

Blue lives matters, except Capitol Police.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

19. To them, Blue Lives only matter

if something happens to a POC or some other group they don't like.

[Evolve Dammit]

10. May they have a need for security someday and for whatever reason the call is not answered...

now that would be a shame. Seriously, these folks are without any understanding, cognizance, conscience or souls at all. It's the alternate reality H talked about. The sad truth is, they actually believe it? How does one get that fucked up Judge Gohmert?

[OAITW r.2.0]

12. I'm betting that every one of these scumbags were supporters of the Insurrection.

A good place to start when examining the role Congress played in supporting the attempt to overthrow the government.

[azureblue]

13. oh you know

This list of no voters will get passed around the capitol cops. Maybe extra pat downs for weapons, double checking IDs, and more, could be in their future.

[mountain grammy]

14. Batshit Boebert

Colorado's shame. Even the other wingnut reps voted for it.

[Martin68]

15. Just showing their true colors.

[calimary]

16. This from the self-proclaimed "pro-police" party.

17. Names:

In March, when an initial version of the legislation was brought to the House floor, a dozen Republicans voted against the measure. Many of those who voted “no” said they objected to the use of the term “insurrectionists” in the resolution.

Those GOP lawmakers included Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Andy Harris (Md.), Lance Gooden (Tex.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), Louie Gohmert (Tex.), Michael Cloud (Tex.), Andrew S. Clyde (Ga.), Greg Steube (Fla.), Bob Good (Va.) and John Rose (Tenn.).

[snip]

On Tuesday, Gooden, one of the 12 House Republicans who voted against the legislation in March, voted in favor of the new bill.

But the number of opposing votes grew, with 10 other House Republicans switching their votes from “yes” to “no.”

Those Republicans are Reps. Lauren Boebert (Colo.), Barry Moore (Ala.), Ralph Norman (S.C.), Matthew M. Rosendale (Mont.), Chip Roy (Tex.), Paul A. Gosar (Ariz.), Warren Davidson (Ohio), Scott Perry (Pa.), Jody Hice (Ga.) and Mary Miller (Ill.).

Some of those who voted “no” on Tuesday said they objected to the use of the words “temple” or “insurrection” in the resolution.

“I wouldn’t call it an insurrection,” Greene said, according to Politico.

Some House Republicans, such as Clyde, have sought to recast the violent mob’s actions on Jan. 6 as little different from a “normal tourist visit” to the Capitol. Others have sought to play down that day’s events in different ways.

20. Does any of this turn off the 'moderates?'

or do they just wilt from comments made by Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Omar?

[twodogsbarking]

21. All those involved in the attempted overthrow of the country please signify by

voting "no" on the bill to award the Congressional Medal of Honor.

[riversedge]

22. Those voting no are selfish cowards

[Mysterian]

23. Apparently, they believe the voters in their districts will support this

That's the real problem .... the brain-washed imbeciles glued to Fox "News."

[Deminpenn]

24. The crackpot caucus
