Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman on Tuesday expressed his mixed feelings about the recognition he’s been given ever since a video of him leading a mob of Trump supporters away from the Senate chamber so lawmakers could evacuate went viral last year.
He’s not only a hero and self-effacing, he’s got a ton of common sense and has his priorities straight. Not many people understand the double edge nature of fame, especially political fame. He’s putting his family and quality of life first, and it’s hard to argue with that.
Romney has accumulated enough wealth that he doesn’t have to answer to anyone. One wonders why he continues to be such a tool, and in particular such a tool of the plutocrats who are doubtless still controlling the republican party.
Good for him. The tendency for the political class to overdo it is just silly. He got a medal from the goddamn POTUS. What more would ever be necessary?
