I don’t understand. These police officers were doing their job. Did the police officers in Portland, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and other cities get a Medal of Honor for protecting during the BLM, Antifa riots of 2021

They should feel like big heels. I hope they really feel that sting.

Both are unworthy

Parents who lost a child do not give a shit

God bless those families They know how empty those that screach 'back the blue, really are'

In an April 19 press release, the medical examiner's office said that Sicknick's death was by natural causes.

Why do grown men in politics give beads and bangles as if they have any meaning?

Medical Examiner Finds USCP Officer Brian Sicknick Died of Natural Causes.

Good woman, they deserve to be shamed again and again

I’m not sure she should shake hands with a single politician there!!

It's wasn't the Republicans who lied about what really happened to her son.

As well she should have. Hypocrites.

Love it

Despicable behavior to make a ceremony political, I’d walk out

Almost 2 years later? Dems are ridiculously transparent They need to return them immediately. You get Congressional medals for dereliction of duty? Maybe Pelosi is giving them the medals for following her instructions closely.

Liars and hypocrites they are.

Jan. 6 Congressional Gold Medal Honorees Snub Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnellThe family of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died after the Jan. 6 attack, refused to shake hands with the GOP leaders. A gas/store owner got tired of the WHACKO 13%ers and hired a security team armed to the teeth!! Please consider contributing to his security fund!! Search for it.....Of course it's in Philly!! Lol!! Brian Sicknick died of natural causes. Ashli Babbitt was shot to death while unarmed. I would have thought HuffPost WOMEN would care about that. This politicization of a heart attack is unreal and should be treated as libelous. Keep it political till the end
