'History will remember your names' -Biden to Jan 6 riot defenders

STORY: The honorees also included former Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers and Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who resisted pressure to overturn the 2020 election results in their states, Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman, who diverted rioters from the Senate floor while lawmakers were evacuating, and Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman, who was falsely accused by Trump of election fraud.

The White House called the honorees "heroes" who demonstrated courage and selflessness during a moment of peril for America.

Trump supporters attacked police, broke through barricades and entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in a failed effort to prevent congressional certification of Biden's 2020 election victory. Trump, who has announced another bid for the presidency in 2024, continues to claim falsely that the 2020 election was stolen from him through widespread voting fraud.
