Gaetz also objected to a provision of the resolution that memorializes the attack historically by providing one of the medals to the Smithsonian Institution. That was a little much for me, he said.
It is rare for a Speaker to sponsor or co-sponsor legislation, but Pelosi said she felt strongly about honoring what she described as the heroic actions demonstrated by police during the siege. January 6 was a day of horror and heartbreak, but because of these courageous men and women, it was also a moment of extraordinary heroism. That day the United States Capitol Police force put themselves between us and the violence, they risked their safety and their lives for others with the utmost selflessness, and they did so because they were patriots, the type of Americans who heard the call to serve and answered it, putting country above self,” Pelosi said in a floor speech on Tuesday.

Texas Republican Representative Louie Gohmert has proposed a bill to award Capitol police with Congressional Gold Medals. But the legislation did not include a mention of the January 6 attack that resulted in the deaths of Officers Brian Sicknick, Jeffrey Smith and Howard Liebengood.
Gohmert s bill proposes that police be awarded three gold medals for their efforts to protect and serve the U.S. Capitol, which would be on display at the Capitol Police Headquarters, the D.C. Metropolitan Police Headquarters, and the Smithsonian.
