Recognized
I missed this – hero Capitol cop who lured the insurrectionists away from the Senate chamber got a promotion and a glam assignment.
Vice-president Kamala Harris and her husband, Douglas Emhoff, were escorted at Wednesday’s inauguration ceremony by Eugene Goodman, the Capitol police officer hailed as a hero for single-handedly leading the mob that broke into the Capitol two weeks ago away from the Senate chamber.
Goodman has also been promoted to acting deputy sergeant-at-arms for the Senate, one of the most prominent positions in the Capitol Hill security force, according to an official announcement at the ceremony.
That’s good.
Congress peeps are still pressing for him to get a Congressional Gold Medal as well.
I’m so glad he is being rewarded for his bravery.
Good indeed. Wasn’t he the one that was at the inauguration, too? As far as I could tell, the only member of the Capitol police force whose arrival was announced, just like the former presidents and other notabilities?
