The world may seem at the moment to be rotating back to normalcy, especially concerning the terrible incident (insurrection) that occurred at the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. on January 6th.  But in a change of direction, the progress (i.e., healing) has been replaced with a vote to defund the capitol police.  Just see for yourself below.

In a recent interview on MSNBC, Former CIA Director John Brennan and Congressman Maloney discuss the vote that occurred last week to defund the U.S. Capitol Police:

The Republican Party members are scared that the Jan. 6th Commission would bring about the truth.  The truth that has occurred in Congress.  Cancer has grown in the Republican Party.  The same police that have given their lives and continues to protect members of congress - have had their legitimacy taken away.  Taken away by voting to defund them.  What a terrible act.  To compromise security at the U.S. Capitol.
