We all knew of Officer Eugene Goodman's bravery in singlehandedly diverting a mob of Trump supporters away from the U.S. Senate chamber during the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th saving members of the Senate assembled as well as former Vice-President Mike Pence.
But it turns out Officer Goodman was even more heroic than we knew. During the second day of former President Trump's impeachment trial, House Manager Stacey Plaskett of the U.S. Virgin Islands presented video showing Goodman alerting Senator Mitt Romney who was about to walk into the bloodthirsty mob.
Goodman is now the Acting Deputy Sergeant at Arms of the U.S. Senate. This appointment should be made permanent. A Congressional Gold Medal and a Presidential Medal of Freedom should follow.
But even if none of these come to pass we can all agree on one thing. Officer Goodman is a good man.
