And why would scum of the earth repukecians vote against awarding bravery medals to those that protected them, they which helped cause the deaths on Jan 6th? Because they want and need to bury history, remove all words of what the insurrection really was. Because all words and deeds of the crime would point squarely at the republicans and individual repukes for all time. And they can't have that.
The repukes are working by the hour to erase and censor all mention of repuke doings and connections to the insurrection. They have to. To recall the sedition is to instantly rightfully connect it to all repukecians. No political party wants that on their backs.
