Democrats Call for Permanent Wall

After the January 6 riot at the US Capitol, the building has since been surrounded by barricades and fencing. Ironically, many Democrats are calling for a permanent wall to surround the building after 4 years of claiming walls are “offensive” and “inhumane,” referring to Trump’s border wall.

Yogananda Pittman, U.S. Capitol Police Chief, is calling for permanent fencing to surround the Capitol building after she ordered the department to “conduct a physical security assessment of the entire Capitol Complex” two days after the January 6th riot.

“In light of recent events, I can unequivocally say that vast improvements to the physical security infrastructure must be made to include permanent fencing, and the availability of ready, back-up forces in close proximity to the Capitol,” Pittman said.

“I look forward to working with Congress on identifying the security improvements necessary to ensure the safety and security of the Congress and the U.S. Capitol,” she added.

The Responses

Steven Portnoy, CBS News Radio White House Correspondent, pointed out that the Capitol has never had permanent fencing in the 220 years the building has been standing.

Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa) also responded, saying “This is wrong. We serve in the People’s House–we need to be safe, but cutting off access to the Capitol isn’t the answer.”

Many twitter users also pointed out the hypocrisy of Congress being protected by a permanent fence after four years of Democrats adamantly opposing former President Trump’s border wall. Last week, Joe Biden signed an executive order requiring all border wall construction come to an end.

Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said, “The first wall the Democrats support.”

Former White House national security aide Sebastian Gorka pointed out, “So walls work. Just not at the border.”

Kira Davis, editor at RedState, noted, “So we won’t build a wall to keep non-citizens from busting into our country illegally but we’ll build a wall around the People’s House to keep the citizens out. Got it. Got that America? You’re not welcome in your own buildings.”
