“I mean, I’m angry,” D.C. Police Officer Michael Fanone, who was injured in the attack, told Forbes of the number of GOP “no” votes, adding that he was “shocked but not surprised.”
Fanone said he was present in the chamber for the debate preceding the vote only for “what I could stomach,” calling Republican arguments against the committee “the same old song.”
Gladys Sicknick, the mother of Brian Sicknick, a Capitol police officer who died following the attack, said she “couldn’t believe” how many Republicans voted no, adding, “I just don’t believe anybody could vote no, it doesn’t make sense.”
