Inquirer readers on disrespect for Capitol Police officers, making ACCT better, and keeping kids safe.
U.S. Capitol Police Sgts. Aquilino Gonell and Harry Dunn stand after a House select committee hearing on the Jan. 6 attack on Capitol Hill in 2021. Some GOP state representatives booed the pair when they visited Harrisburg recently.showed his true colors. The House Republicans voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to provide them with an audio recording of President.
Leading up to Jan. 6 , many in the GOP continued to amplify the “stolen election” lie, pretty much based on Donald Trump’s assertions alone. That partisanship helped create the conditions for the attack on the U.S. Capitol, where misinformed Trump supporters felt empowered to commit violence on Trump’s behalf. Booing and disrespecting innocent officers who were trying to share their perspective of that day is truly adding insult to injury and shows the pettiness of some of our elected officials.
Imagine that in the next four years, China decides to invade Taiwan, or Russia threatens Estonia, or another unknown virus attacks — all reasonably possible scenarios. Each would require an orderly response based on logical risk assessment, clear strategy, collaboration, and remarkably subtle communications. If elected, this very person, last seen lost in a jumble of uncontrolled ideas and words, would be the person we would rely on.
