During the ceremony, Sicknick’s two brothers and parents approached Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and shook his hand. They continued down the line of lawmakers standing in front of the podium, bypassing McConnell and McCarthy. The Sicknicks kept walking, declining to shake hands with the GOP leaders.

“They’re just two-faced,” Gladys Sicknick, Brian’s mother said “I’m just tired of them standing there and saying how wonderful the Capitol police is and then they turn around and go down to Mar-a-Lago and kiss his (former President Donald Trump) ring and come back.”
