Five months after the January 6 insurrection, the House and Senate have come to an agreement that will award the Congressional Gold Medal to the officers who defended the Capitol.
But 21 House Republicans refused to support the legislation, the latest reminder that members of Congress still cannot agree on the facts of the deadly Capitol Hill riot.
There’s a certain perverse logic to it: if the riot didn’t happen, then the Capitol Police couldn’t have been heroes. After all, it was just Liberals/BLM/Antifa if it happened at all, which it didn’t.
And of course, the Terrible Sand Kingdom of Arizonastan has a special for us:
…which brought about a statement from Liz Cheney:
“On January 6, as the violent mob advanced on the House chamber, I was standing near @RepGosar and helped him open his gas mask. The Capitol Police led us to safety. It is disgusting and despicable to see Gosar lie about that day and smear the men and women who defended us.”
But I digest…
Who are the 21, you ask? I mean, besides Gosar? Meet the Q-/Coup Caucus:
- Lauren Boebert of Colorado
- John Rose of Tennessee
- Andy Harris of Maryland
- Thomas Massie of Kentucky
- Bob Good of Virginia
- Louie Gohmert of Texas
- Barry Moore of Alabama
- Ralph Norman of South Carolina
- Matt Rosendale of Montana
- Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia
- Chip Roy of Texas
- Paul Gosar of Arizona
- Andy Biggs of Arizona
- Warren Davidson of Ohio
- Scott Perry of Pennsylvania
- Matt Gaetz of Florida
- Greg Steube of Florida
- Andrew Clyde of Georgia
- Jody Hice of Georgia
- Mary Miller of Illinois
- Michael Cloud of Texas
Any of ’em yours? Let them know what you think.
Nice list. I think I’ll put it on my refrigerator as a reminder for the 2022 midterm campaign season.

Davidson was picked by the Koch machine to take Boehner’s safe seat. His email on 1/7 said he was pissed he could only vote against two state’s electoral votes. Former Army Ranger, he’s the perfect profile of someone waiting for the coup to succeed, then help form a “provisional government”. I hate his guts but he’ll always win this district with 65-70%.
