Twelve offended Republicans are extra involved about rebel safety than the consideration of the police

The names of the twelve non-voters are so well known that they might as well be described as the usual suspects: Andy Biggs, Michael Cloud, Andrew Clyde, Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, Bob Good, Lance Gooden, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Andy Harris, Thomas Massie, John Rose and Greg Steube.

Some of the twelve have made statements that “clarified” their vote. For example, Gohmert did not like the fact that the bill in honor of the police identified the people who made their way into the Capitol as “armed insurgents”. Gohmert did not make it clear whether the objection was that the guns, tasers, bear spray, bats, and spears carried by those intruding into the Capitol did not have enough magazine capacity to really qualify as weapons, or whether tried was to hang officials To overthrow, the government should not be considered a riot. But one way or another, Gohmert was concerned that the collection of hostages looking for hostages might hurt their feelings.

Kentucky representative Thomas Massie made this point. As reported by the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Kentucky Congressman claimed he was concerned that the use of the term insurrection had too much “weight” and that the term “insurrection.”could show up in law enforcement. “He did not make it clear whether this meant that he wanted to treat insurgents with child gloves or whether he feared that he might be named in such a prosecution.

To call a rebellion a rebellion had apparently gone too far for the supporter of the uprising, Andy Harris, too. He tweeted that he couldn’t support “Partisan charged language found in this bill. “The language was so biased that the bill had 333 sponsors – over three-quarters of the House, including Republicans. But those others are not as sensitive as Harris.

And of course, Marjorie Taylor Greene, the new Republican Congress leader, could be relied on to provide insights. At first she rejected a sentence that described the Capitol as a “temple of democracy” because … temple. “This Capitol is not a temple,” Greene wrote in a Facebook post. “I’m not going to give this a stamp of approval.” Greene faces up to Thomas Jefferson, who used the phrase after suggesting that the Capitol should be modeled on the Pantheon in Rome. Then Greene further complained that the bill “calls every single person who entered the capital on January 6 an insurgent ”(although this is not possible) and does not name an“ Antifa or BLM ”insurgent just because they did not break into the Capitol and attempt that Overthrow government.

All twelve protested that they had supported an alternative bill from Gohmert that had a language they liked better. However, as reported by the Washington Post, this version more than omitted the “sacrilegious” use of the temple and defended the delicate sensibilities of the white supremacist insurgents. The events of January 6th were not mentioned at all.

So these 12 Republicans are ready to praise the police … in theory. As long as it’s not about the police actually doing something to their people.
