🚨 During Police Week, I ask—again—why Speaker Johnson and Congressional Republicans still refuse to hang a plaque honoring the Capitol Police officers who were beaten, maced, and brutalized on January 6th. They won’t even do the bare minimum.

Why were you pardoned ?

22 women in Iran’s Evin Prison are being subjected to sexual abuse during brutal body searches. Their open letter exposes the horrors: humiliation, assault, and dehumanization. They risk torture for speaking out. How much longer will the world ignore their screams? @IranIntl_En

Do you want a plaque before or after they are held accountable for the murder of an unarmed protestor?

We’re not gonna put some plaque up for something that didn’t happen. We haven’t even indicted charged in handcuffed and arrested the January 6 committee yet.

Because they realize the true facts: 1. The police attacked the protesters first. 2. The FALSE FLAG was planned and allowed by PeLOUSY in order to justify hurrying the certification of the election and prevent the MASSIVE EVIDENCE of voter fraud from being heard.

During Police Week, House Democrats demand the plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded, protected our U.S. Capitol, and our democracy on January 6th be properly displayed. The law instructs us to, and House Republicans failed to comply.

House Republicans claim to stand with law enforcement, yet they still refuse to hang the plaque, as Congress mandated, to honor the officers who defended the Capitol and democracy on January 6. Witnesses from both parties agree: Speaker Johnson must follow federal law and put up the plaque recognizing the officers who risked their lives protecting our democracy.

Everyone saw what happened on January 6th. Officers risked their lives, and some died, protecting the Capitol. Republicans can’t even support a plaque honoring their sacrifice.

We approved a plaque to honor the officers who responded on January 6th. Speaker Johnson refuses to display it, so I have a replica outside of my office for people to visit. The Capitol Police kept us safe that day, as they do every day. They deserve to be recognized.

This should be a bigger story. It took years of fighting just to get this plaque honoring the officers who defended the Capitol on January 6th up on the wall. And when it finally went up, Mike Johnson hid it in the basement. These brave officers were beaten, gassed, and attacked by a mob trying to overturn a free and fair election. They were promised a plaque that would honor them in a place the public could see. And after years of waiting, this is what they got: a plaque installed in the middle of the night in a location the public can’t even access.

For months, Speaker Johnson refused to hang the Jan. 6th plaque honoring law enforcement. Then he placed it in a basement corner of the Capitol where it will rarely be seen. The brave officers, many from Northern Virginia, who defended the Capitol against the insurrection deserve better. This plaque belongs where everyone can see it.

Today, I journeyed to an obscure part of the Capitol basement to see the long-awaited plaque honoring the police officers who defended Congress and America against Trump’s insurrectionary mob on January 6, 2021. To his credit, Sen. Tillis joined Democrats in demanding it be put up, but this spot is not accessible to the public. Speaker Johnson, come on—put the plaque in its rightful place of honor.

Today, we gave Republicans a choice: Do they want to support people who assaulted police on Jan 6th or the police officers who defended the Capitol on that day. They made their choice. Another shameful vote from Republicans to send your tax dollars to these criminals.

The plaque honoring the heroes of January 6 is finished, but the GOP refuses to hang it in the Capitol. Not one Republican has offered a reason why. If they can’t respect the officers who defended our democracy, the very least they can do is respect the law.

Speaker Johnson still refuses to hang a plaque, mandated by law, to honor the officers who defended the Capitol from the violent mob on January 6. Yet Trump’s DOJ is handing millions to the family of a January 6 rioter. Rep. Jamie Raskin: “The Speaker’s stubborn refusal to respect the law here is craven submission to Donald Trump.”

This is disgusting. Trump literally calls the criminals who injured 140 Capitol Police officers on January 6th “unbelievable patriots”. Hard to believe that Republicans keep nominating someone who praises people who attack our police. #Biden_and_Trump Good Saturday

I just joined Rep. Eric Swalwell on Police Memorial Day to demand Speaker Johnson display the plaque honoring January 6 heroes in the Capitol as required by law. But I want you to hear from someone who spoke after me, one of those heroes- Officer Daniel Hodges. It's worth your time:
