The House of Representatives again passed legislation awarding the highest congressional honor to all members of law enforcement for their service during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol
The House passed legislation on Tuesday that would award the highest congressional honor to all members of law enforcement for their service during the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, with 21 Republicans voting against it.that would have bestowed the Congressional Gold Medal to the Capitol Police and the D.C. Police Department. But the measure ran into headwinds in the Senate, which had separately honored Officer Eugene Goodman of the Capitol Police, who gained public acclaim for his heroism on Jan.
The House approved the measure on a 406-21 vote, with all opposition coming from Republicans. Only 12 House Republicans voted against the March measure bestowing the Gold Medal, another sign of how GOP sentiment of the rioters has softened in the months since the mob overran the Capitol.
