Senators are “supposed to uphold the Constitution, and right now I don’t think they’re doing it," said the fallen officer's mother.
The mother of Brian Sicknick, the police officer who died after being attacked during the Capitol insurrection, personally met with Republican lawmakers on Thursday to plead for their support to create a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 riot. “You know, usually I’m staying in the background, and I just couldn’t, I couldn’t stay quiet anymore,” Gladys Sicknick told reporters after a meeting with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who has said he will vote for a commission. “Brian had a work ethic second to none. He was ... there for our country,” she said. Sicknick later told reporters that senators are “supposed to uphold the Constitution, and right now I don’t think they’re doing it.”
