Schumer: Car attack underscores need for Congress to 'address security at the Capitol'

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Saturday that the car attack on the Capitol underscores the need for Congress to address security concerns at the complex as lawmakers remain divided over the issue.

The statement came a day after an attacker rammed a car into a barrier at the Capitol. Capitol Police officer William “Billy” Evans died from wounds he suffered during the attack.

The suspect was shot to death by police after he lunged at officers with a knife.

“Yesterday’s attack at the Capitol, which resulted in the death of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Billy Evans and injured another officer, has only added to the need to address security at the Capitol in a comprehensive way following the insurrectionist attack on January 6,” Schumer said in a statement.

“Senate Committees are already conducting bipartisan and extensive reviews to ensure the Capitol is as secure as possible while also remaining accessible to the public. We are fully committed to ensuring the Capitol is safe for visitors and all who work here,” he added.

Schumer’s remarks come as lawmakers in both chambers of Congress debate what security measures are necessary to keep the Capitol safe.

Fencing and other blockades were erected around the entire complex after the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill that killed several people, including Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick.

However, members of Congress have demanded answers regarding any intelligence suggesting that the blockades were necessary.

.

Officials are still sifting through the events of Jan. 6, but a review conducted by retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré at the appointment of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) recommended that Capitol officials install a permanent fencing system that could be retracted and then erected in emergencies.

If the people in the crapitol were not such A-holes they would not have to worry about security or being attacked.

You reap what you sow.

If they’re planning on surrounding themselves with barriers and armed soldiers, it’s because of what they plan to do, not because of anything that has already been done.

A nut job rammed two officers with his car. How do you stop that other than setting up a Baghdad-style green zone?

The fact that we are having these discussions shows how far down the crapper we’ve gone.

I have to agree with Chuck, if we are not careful, a buncha commie agents might get in there, and sleep with the congressmen. Either that, or they will work as chauffeurs and aids and stuff. What? You mean... really? Well, darn. Forget I said anything.

I don’t think we are allowed to talk about his being a Muslim or Muslim sympathizer.

Media bias is not only what stories and facts are discussed, but also what facts are omitted when news people report on things.

If Congress wants to lock itself inside a prison who am I to object?

Occam’s razor. The reason they need the fencing is because they’re just straight up assholes. It’s not a vast right wing conspiracy.

Schumer is a scumbag punk coward. The rats don’t give a damn about the cops, just their own slimy skin.

That is what I have said for 2 months. Let em fence themselves in and then forget em. We can live in freedom then.

The car attack shows that your ilk is too comfortable branding good Americans as terrorists.

I agree, but Chuck is wrong. 1/6 was the Reichstag Fire. The entire summer was Kristallnacht. Now, we are nearing the “Night of the Long Knives”. At least, that is how I see it. The Democrat’s forte, other than hypocrisy, mendacity, and failure, seems to be projection.
