History Will Remember Your Names
On the second anniversary of the January 6 attack on the Capitol, Biden honors the heroes who defended democracy while House Republicans capitulate to the insurrectionists' caucus and hold Congress hostage again.
The contrast could not be more stark. On January 6, President Biden awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal to 14 heroes who defended the Capitol and American democracy. At the very same time, the GOP leadership was negotiating the "terms of surrender" to House extremists who support violence, lies, and insurrection. The President said of the January 6 heroes that, “History will remember your names." The same can also be said of 147 congressional Republicans who voted to overturn American democracy.
