US Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman has been hailed as an American hero for leading a growing mob away from the Senate chambers during last week's attack on the Capitol.
Now, a bipartisan trio of lawmakers wants to recognize Goodman with a Congressional Gold Medal for potentially saving lives on one of the darkest days in US history. Democratic Reps. Charlie Crist of Florida and Emanuel Cleaver II of Missouri, and Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina introduced legislation this week to award Goodman with the medal, reserved for Americans who've made"distinguished achievements and contributions" to their country.
They murder a patriot and get medals?
Just doing his job
It was an obvious staged scene. True rioters are gonna go in all directions not follow the sheep. It was in the script.
It was staged... tell me why someone was recording him ? Yeah STAGED
Yes!
Wednesday noon can’t come fast enough. Now Trump is trying to stage a self coup with the my pillow guy and blame China/Iran.
He isn’t the only one who deserves it.
I do not believe you get a medal for just doing your job. I do believe that people go above and beyond at times. Let’s face it the officer that gave his life. His family should receive the medal.
Well deserved.
As they should

A true American and a true man
About time. This man was a hero and deserves to be recognised as such
Hello
Isn’t this the guy who shot and killed the unarmed demonstrator Ashli Babbit? Maybe he wasn’t so much leading as he was running away?
Happy for him however, it should be the Medal of Freedom, PENCE came close to being captured and if the terrorists were better organized they could've killed everyone in Congress that day. And T**** would've remain in office.
Republican should not be there 147 of them plus 8 senator who participated shouldn't be there..
his name is goodman? lol this is totally theatre
Vanilla Isis ..... LOCK EM ALL UP
A genuine president would and should be the first to pay homage to living and dead heroes. Where is one when the nation has yet to recover from the rocking of one of the most brutal acts of this century?
biden should give him a medal of honour.
As they should 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ok unless he lead them the way to the room. Ijs
Well deserved
These ladies too for getting the ballot box to a safe place, grace under fire.
