President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden arrived at the US Capitol late Tuesday night to pay their respects to fallen US Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, whose remains are lying in honor in the building’s famous Rotunda, less than four weeks after he died after responding to the riot that erupted in the building.
In an appearance lasting a few minutes, the President and first lady entered the Rotunda, where several US Capitol police officers were stationed including two officers flanking Sicknick’s remains.
Biden placed his hand on the table displaying Sicknick’s remains before he and the first lady each placed their hands over their hearts and Biden crossed himself. The Bidens then stood in front of memorial wreaths before again placing their hands over their hearts and exiting the Rotunda.
The somber ceremonial arrival began at 9:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday at the East Front of the Capitol with Sicknick’s remains arriving in a hearse. A Capitol Police officer carried the box containing his remains up the steps as police officers stood at attention outside the building that had been ransacked by insurrectionists almost a month before.
The viewing for Sicknick began at 10 p.m. and was set to last overnight. A ceremony is set to take place on Wednesday.

Ransacked?
While they filed in through the velvet-rope dividers?
Ransacked?
4 weeks and he hasn’t been buried yet?? That is totally disrespectful! He was a human being - not a prop for their agenda! And what was he doing at the funeral home for 4 weeks? Did they have him on ice? Why didn’t his family get him buried within a decent time frame? On the other hand, knowing these deceitful people, the coffin/box might be empty and this is all just for show. A very ghoulish show!
