The delay comes as House Republicans continue to question prevailing narratives around Jan. 6 and shift blame away from Trump.
FILE – Insurrectionists loyal to President Donald Trump try to break through a police barrier, Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol in Washington. WASHINGTON — Winston Pingeon is not out for awards or accolades, he said. He does not care about personal recognition.
Now, Republicans are assuming control of both chambers in the coming Congress, and Trump is regaining the presidency. In the eyes of former Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, a plaque would offer a needed reminder during the usual pomp and circumstance of the inaugural ceremony held on the West Front.
“I’m going to continue to make the call that we need to have this plaque up sooner than later,” Espaillat said in an interview recently. “If we are truly about law and order and our police officers, we ought to recognize those who have put their lives on the line.” “The law requires the plaque to be posted, so there’s an expectation that the majority would follow the law,” Lofgren said. “But the reason why it was made the law was that hundreds of officers risked their lives to protect ours.”It’s not uncommon for Congress to miss deadlines it sets for itself. Other than public outcry or finger-pointing, there are virtually no consequences.
“It’s becoming more evident the failures of J6 four years ago were swept under the rug to push a political narrative. There’s lots of questions that have yet to be answered, and our officers deserve that,” he said in a late December text message.
