Three months after rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, Democrats and Republicans alike are responsible for a shameful failure to respond as hopes fade for a comprehensive review of the deadly assault on the seat of our government.
A new attack on the complex by a lone actor took the life of another U.S. Capitol police officer on Good Friday, a tragic reminder of the ongoing threat to the force itself and the lawmakers they sacrifice to protect.
While various congressional committees are investigating Jan. 6, there is no consensus for establishing a 9/11-style commission as the parties bicker over the rules and scope. NBC reported last month that lawmakers are “growing increasingly pessimistic that an agreement on establishing a commission can be reached,” and Sen. Roy Blunt, a GOP leader, said that his “instinct is it isn’t happening.”
Schumer said he hopes the tribute provides comfort to Evans two children and the public. May this tribute also be a source of comfort and an expression of gratitude to the U.S. Capitol Police Force, which has awed our nation with their courage and resilience during this devastating time, Schumer said in a press release.
Evans died in the line of duty after a man rammed a car into two officers at a barricade outside the U.S. Capitol, authorities said. Pelosi described Evans as a “martyr for democracy.”
Evans family said in a statement released Tuesday that the loss of the best father, son, brother and friend anyone could ever hope for has left a gaping void in their lives.
