Reminders of Jan. 6 attack fade in the Capitol as Trump retakes power

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Inside the Capitol, reminders of the violence are increasingly hard to find. Former Republican Sen. Mike Braun, a frequent Trump ally who left Congress this year and was elected Indiana’s governor, said many in the party think the Justice Department “was weaponized disproportionately against” some rioters. And maybe the biggest remedy is just to keep moving forward.” The plaque that never happened Congress passed a law in March 2022 to require “an honorific plaque listing the names of all of the officers of the United States Capitol Police, the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, and other Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies and protective entities who responded to the violence that occurred at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” The Architect of the Capitol was ordered to obtain the plaque within a year and permanently place it on the Capitol’s western front, where the worst of the fighting took place. “That service to their country, it’s been disrespected.” New York Rep. Joe Morelle, now the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee, said refusing to display the plaque is part of an effort to “deny Jan. 6 happened and the harm it caused to the U.S. Capitol Police force.” The officers who were there Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges, who fought the rioters and was captured on video screaming as they crushed him in a doorway that led to the inauguration stage, said it’s “incredibly offensive” that the plaque hasn’t been installed. “Count me out,” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, one of Trump’s top allies, said the night of Jan. 6.
