NEW: Justice Dept. just released horrifying new footage from 1/6. Feds say this is ex-NYPD officer Thomas Webster (red jacket) wielding a flagpole, rushing at police & tackling a cop to the ground. DOJ released this after legal action by CNN and other outlets. (warning: explicit) pic.twitter.com/yf7DQQFMWr

Republican Andrew Clyde, who voted against awarding police officers the Congressional Gold Medal for their bravery in protecting the U.S. Capitol against pro-Trump rioters, refused to shake hands with D.C. police officer Michael Fanone. https://t.co/kCnuXCIVNF

#BREAKING Officer Fanone just ran into @Rep_Clyde at Capitol (he’s the “Jan 6 was a typical tour” guy). Fanone introduced himself as “someone who fought to defend the Capitol” and put out his hand. Clyde refused to shake it. To honor Trump, @housegop will dishonor the police.

GOP Rep Andrew Clyde's refusal to shake Officer Michael Fanone's hand captures a larger truth: In aligning themselves with Trump's efforts to subvert the election, Republicans sided with lawlessness -- against democracy and the rule of law. My latest:https://t.co/plplsfpxSv

Rep. Paul Gosar’s brother on CNN just now: “On behalf of the actual sane members of our family, which is everyone but Paul, we apologize … for his despicable comments and disgraceful comments.”

Nearly 500 criminal defendants in US Capitol Insurrection. I think I've read every charging document.

I've seen no reference to *who* specifically erected the gallows outside the Capitol on Jan 6
Yes.. many more arrests are expected pic.twitter.com/d1YTnSORdD
Breaking: Portland Police’s entire rapid response team, the unit tasked with responding to riots, has resigned from their roles after @DAMikeSchmidt announced the prosecution of one of them & Oregon DOJ is investigating another. https://t.co/0qOkvOEFkz

We all owe Officer Fanone a huge debt of gratitude. He is a hero and refuses to give the GQP a pass.

“Backing the blue” isn’t something you say every other November to get votes. It’s something you do — in deeds — for those who put their lives in front of yours. @GOPLeader McCarthy & @housegop failed that test. To honor Trump they dishonor the police. https://t.co/yKhscqq07z

Friday at 7pm, Officer Eugene Goodman will throw out the first pitch at the @Nationals game.
— U.S. Capitol Police (@CapitolPolice) June 17, 2021
On January 6, he led a violent mob away from our elected leaders. Officer Goodman's act of valor was just one of many our officers displayed.
Good luck Eugene! We know you'll nail it! pic.twitter.com/FPkpSYY2dF
