12 Republicans opposed Congressional Gold Medals for police who protected them on Jan. 6

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A dozen House Republicans voted against a resolution to award three Congressional Gold Medals to the Capitol Police, the D.C. police and the Smithsonian Institution in recognition of those who protected the U.S. Capitol when it was attacked by supporters of then-President Donald Trump on Jan. 6.

The GOP lawmakers, who said they objected to the use of the term “insurrectionists” in the resolution, are: Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Andy Harris (Md.), Lance Gooden (Tex.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), Louie Gohmert (Tex.), Michael Cloud (Tex.), Andrew S. Clyde (Ga.), Greg Steube (Fla.), Bob Good (Va.) and John Rose (Tenn.).

“We had to combine it with these editorial comments about the January 6 sequence of events, and then we had to logroll it with this exhibit at the Smithsonian, and … that was a little much for me,” Gaetz said after the vote.

Massie also objected to the use of the word “temple,” saying it was “a little too sacrilegious for me.”

10. Still mad at them that it didn't go the way they wanted on Jan 6th.

Damn police! The small numbers they had managed to keep down and unarmed, were supposed to just lay down when they heard "Blue Live's Matter!" from the Trump mob, and realize that Trump was their master, lord and king.

11. I agree with them.

“...they objected to the use of the term “insurrectionists”

I prefer “seditionists”. To match what will be on their indictments.
