GOP Congressman refused to shake hands....

[kadee79]

With a DC police officer that was beaten on Jan. 6!  Yep, he's from Ga.!  It's embarrassing to live in this state any more.  I think education needs to be kicked up a couple of notches in N.Ga.!

Rep. Andrew Clyde, Georgia Republican, was accused Wednesday of snubbing Michael Fanone, a D.C. Metropolitan Police Department officer savagely beaten while trying to defend the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, according to the account of a Democratic colleague.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, California Democrat, said that Mr. Fanone had just ran into Mr. Clyde at the Capitol and that the Republican congressman “refused to shake” the police officer’s hand.

“Fanone introduced himself as ‘someone who fought to defend the Capitol’ and put out his hand. Clyde refused to shake it,” Mr. Swallwell said on Twitter.

“To honor Trump, @housegop will dishonor the police,” Mr. Swalwell said on the social media service.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, Illinois Republican, added from his own Twitter account minutes later that he called Mr. Fanone and independently confirmed the encounter as described by Mr. Swalwell.

“This is really incredible,” Mr. Kinzinger tweeted.

A spokesperson for Mr. Clyde did not immediately respond to a message requesting comment.

Maybe the next time a mob swarms the Capital, the Capital Police should show the rioters the fastest way to get to their offices?!?  (It'd serve them right, joost sayin'...)  


BTW, I am NOT shocked that Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz are on the list.

Nope, no surprise with those 2 nor a couple of others either.

From link in reply one:

Lawmakers handily passed the legislation. Members of both parties supported it, 406-21, with all of the votes in opposition coming from conservative Republicans.

...

“If they just wanted to give the police recognition, they could have done it without trying to make it partisan, without sticking (the word insurrection) in there,” (Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.)) added

Members from both parties voted for it. Members from only one party voted against it. Seems it wasn't "they" making it partisan.

Like trump cares if any other U.S. resident's life matters other than his own.

If trump had been on the Titanic, he would have pushed every man, woman and child out of a lifeboat to save his own ass.

He would have taken child Eric with him to get on a lifeboat and then chuck him over 45 seconds after he started crying.

That or trump would have taken a young Ivanka and told their rescuers her parents went down with the ship and convinced Ivanka of same and then marry her. Three-eyed offspring with five arms each.

Paul Gosar's brothers called the lawmaker's comments about the Capitol riots 'despicable' and said he was a 'pathological liar'

Rep. Paul Gosar's brothers rebuked him after the lawmaker said that a Capitol police officer was "lying in wait" to "execute" Jan. 6 rioter Ashli Babbitt.

Tim and David Gosar called the congressman's comments on the Capitol riot "despicable" and apologized "on behalf of the actual sane members of our family" in an interview with CNN on Thursday morning.

"Once you lose your focus on the truth, once you become someone that peddles in lies, once you become basically a snake oil salesman, the truth is a really slippery thing to get your arms around," Tim Gosar said during the interview. "It's really hard to go back to the truth once you become a pathological liar like Paul has become."

Gosar said during a House hearing this week that the officer who shot and killed Babbitt as she attempted to break through a window in the Capitol "appeared to be hiding, lying in wait and then gave no warning before killing her." The congressman also asserted that the officer, whose identity Gosar demanded be revealed, "executed" Babbitt.

Gosar was among 21 House Republicans who this week voted against awarding all law enforcement officers the highest congressional honor for their work protecting the Capitol during the riot.

Hmmm... so "Support blue" apparently only applies when it comes to making sure brown people know their place.   

Supporting blue does not apply when police get injured and die protecting your lily white ass ass from a public lynching.  That doesn't suit the narrative.

Got it.  Absolutely disgusting.  How do these people look at themselves in the mirror?  How do you go about life with absolutely no soul or any kind of moral compass outside of what gets you the most votes?
