Family of fallen officer snubs McCarthy and McConnell as Congress honors law enforcement who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 | CNN Politics

In a moment of apparent tension, the family of US Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who suffered strokes and died of natural causes one day after responding to the January 6 insurrection, refused to shake hands with either House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy or Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell when they accepted the medal. Gladys Sicknick, mother of fallen officer Brian Sicknick, was asked by CNN why she didn’t shake McCarthy and McConnell’s hands at the gold medal ceremony.

” “I hope every American will see this award and feel the gratitude for every law enforcement officer who answer the call of duty every day, but especially the Capitol Police officers and the MPD,” McCarthy said. “ Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee acknowledged that for many officers that filled the Rotunda, the ceremony marked their first time in the Capitol since the insurrection.

No handshake sorry 😆…is the news!

Two-faced? They’re talking about democrats who championed defunding police called many racists and criminals, right?

I guess this family believes the lie of a government takeover

Continuing the big lie

He died of a stroke. Pass.

He died of heart attack few days later lads..

Defended the most peaceful protest since 2018 Sorry, the only more peaceful protest was the trucker protests

Probably because they were paid by democrats

Akbarghfari was kidnapped after sheltering a number of protesters. He was kept under pressure in solitary confinement for days. He is illiterate but he was told that he killed an officer. Now his life is in danger SayTheirNames MahsaAmini

How many CNN folks got fired today?

CNN, you should know republicans are divided, as there is the proper conservative, and the establishment uniparty GARBAGE.

❌❌. A black Capitol Police Officer, Murdered , shot to death, Unarmed Protestor and Veteran, Ashli Babbitt, January 6th 👎👎👎👎

Pathetic.

The fallen officer died of a stroke days later.

No Capitol police were killed on Jan 6th.

The yanks call it insurrection if it happens in the USA. But they call it revolution if they fund it in the Ukraine.

Officer Sicknick has not 'fallen', he died of a stroke but his mother likes being used by Democrats as a mother of a martyr killed by MAGA killers. The only person who has fallen during the Capitol riots was unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt, shot dead by Capitol policeman.

They opened the doors haha. Quite the defenders.

Worse network news

We’re still pretending Jan 6 was a thing?

The same as the Nazi behavior with the Jews!
