Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) is retiring. He's the first Republican to come out and champion this plaque to honor Jan 6 police heroes

Nevertheless.. there was no objection

This is a significant symbolic break by some Senate Republicans from Trump

Sen Thom Tillis (R-NC) called Jan 6 rioters “thousands of thugs”

Sen John Thune (R-SD) agreed to let Jan 6 plaque to hang in Senate, despite plaque opposition from House Speaker Mike Johnson

Trump unconditionally pardoned more than a hundred felons who beat up police officers.
