A House Republican is pushing to award Daniel Penny the highest civilian honor that Congress can award, and I'm all for it. Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz) plans to introduce a resolution to grant the Congressional Gold Medal to Penny, the U.S. Marine veteran who defended himself and fellow passengers against a threatening homeless man on a crowded New York City subway, before being unjustly prosecuted by D.A. Alvin Bragg.
"Daniel Penny’s actions exemplify what it means to stand against the grain to do right in a world that rewards moral cowardice," said Crane. "Our system of ‘justice’ is fiercely corrupt, allowing degenerates to steamroll our laws and our sense of security, while punishing the righteous. Mr. Penny bravely stood in the gap to defy this corrupt system and protect his fellow Americans. I’m immensely proud to introduce this resolution to award him with the Congressional Gold Medal to recognize his heroism."
Penny is on trial for the death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man with schizophrenia, following an altercation on a New York City subway in May 2023. Witnesses reported Neely acting erratically, threatening passengers and declaring he didn’t care if he died. Penny subdued Neely with a chokehold for about six minutes, after which Neely died. Penny’s defense argues he acted to protect himself and others and questions whether the chokehold directly caused Neely’s death, citing the presence of synthetic drugs in Neely’s system. Witnesses have praised Penny for his actions.

And President Trump should invite Penny to sit next to Mrs. Trump at the State of the Union address and recognize him as a Good Samaritan and hero who was subjected to unjust treatment..
May it be so!
Daniel Penny still in my daily prayers.
🙏
I seriously hope that he’s got a bodyguard.
That medal won’t help him much if he’s locked up.
Moral support, I guess.
The world doesnt reward moral cowardice.
The world punishes people who do right, and when it can get away with it, rewards those who do evil.
To: SeekAndFindThis is good. This is very good. Props to Rep. Eli Crane and Tom Homan!
Make it so!

We need many more Penny’s in country.
Pun not intended.
bttt
“a 30-year-old homeless man with schizophrenia”.

Gee, isn’t schizophrenia a side effect of a harmless drug?
I love Eli Crane. Logical thinker.
Yes, we do. This is sickening.
Who? Penny or the representative who wants him to get the gold metal? They both probably need them and certainly President Trump needs them. Many liberals are violent and nasty.
