Democrats included an unprecedented $22 million in the bill that passed Thursday to address threats against lawmakers in both parties. Those threats rose for years amid incendiary rhetoric from politicians, including former President Donald Trump, and they escalated dramatically since a Trump-backed mob stormed the Capitol. But Senate GOP opposition to the security legislation could mean months of delays for those funds.
House Democrats this week tried to do something about the rise in personal safety risks for lawmakers after the Jan. 6 insurrection, approving a roughly $2 billion package to bolster the Capitol Police, fund the National Guard and secure the sprawling complex. Congress’ most forceful response yet to the Capitol siege also includes what many members have sought for years: more help paying for their protection.

There's no way several hundred unarmed people trashing offices at the Capitol building, should make Democrats tremble in fear every day of their life.

Well, thank goodness that no Democrat politicians have ever thrown fuel on this fire. I mean, imagine if somebody like Auntie Maxine or Ilhan the Jihadist or Nancy the Ghoul had encouraged people to go out and do violent things.

Democrats plead for more security cash as threats rise
The chickens have come home to roost. They made their bed, now they can lie in it. What goes around, comes around.
Etc, etc....

The fact that Jan 6 happened should be a national embarrassment no matter where your politics reside. I imagine that if it was BLM that did this you would be singing a different tune. But even putting that aside if it was ISIS, Hamas or any foreign country/terrorist organization that did this we would be bombing the crap out of some one right now.

Why put money into something you guys claim didn't happen. I agree. If nothing happened, why the money?
Well, it did happen, so you can thank Trump supporters for wasting another Billion on something that wasn't necessary six months ago.
Thanks Again.
