SENATORS DEFY TRUMP: UNANIMOUSLY THUMB NOSE AT TRUMP’S REWRITING OF JAN 6 HISTORY; VOTE TO HANG PLAQUE HONORING THE REAL JAN 6 HEROES
In the wake of Trump trying to whitewash (hooboy does that term ever apply here!) and rewrite the history of what happened on January 6, 2021, including putting up a page on the official White House website filled with nauseating lies (I can’t even bring myself to give you the link, but if you must read it, you can find it by searching “Discover the real January 6 story: peaceful protest turned tragedy, Deep State entrapment, media deception, and President Trump’s triumphant pardons”), the Senate – ALL OF THE SENATORS – Republican and Democrat – have voted to install a plaque honoring the REAL heroes who, despite what Trump says, were not the rioters, but those who fought so valiantly to defend our capitol, country, and constitution from vicious attacks trying to take down our democracy.
The plaque reads:
ON BEHALF OF A GRATEFUL CONGRESS, THIS PLAQUE HONORS THE EXTRAORDINARY INDIVIDUALS WHO BRAVELY PROTECTED AND DEFENDED THIS SYMBOL OF DEMOCRACY ON JANUARY 6, 2021.
THEIR HEROISM WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
The resolution orders the Architect of the Capitol to immediately and prominently display the plaque in a public area in the Senate area of the Capitol building until it can be permanently placed in a more prominent location.
The measure was introduced by Republican Thom Tillis and Democrat Jeff Merkley
