Rep. Raskin: My January 6th Heroes Fund Would Give Money to Families of Police Officers Who Were Actually Injured on That Day

EXCERPT:

RASKIN: "So, that’s something that’s very fresh on my mind, because they’ve promised those people a million dollars apiece, and we want to make sure that doesn’t happen. And I’ve got legislation called the January 6 Heroes Fund, which is money for the families of the police officers who were actually wounded and injured by the violent mob that Donald Trump incited on January 6. So, if they’re going to be obsessed with that day, we should be on the side of the police heroes and their families. I mean, a lot of these officers were driven out of police work and were permanently disabled by virtue of the fact that they were beaten up and given concussions and traumatic brain injuries and strokes and heart attacks and so on. So, we’re going to stop what they’re doing and we’re going to put America back on the side of democracy, freedom, the rule of law and law and order.”
