Aerial banner calls for Rutherfordโs resignation
An aerial banner that flew over Jacksonville on Tuesday called for U.S. Rep. John Rutherford to resign. Five deaths resulted from the violence, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died of injuries suffered in the fray. pic.twitter.com/87v1BmsRUT โ Rep. John Rutherford (@RepRutherfordFL) January 1, 2021โObjecting to state electors is not undemocratic,โ Rutherford tweeted Jan. 4. The remarks rang hollow to the group behind Tuesdayโs banner, who believe the best way for Rutherford to honor Officer Sicknick is to step down. โ Rep. John Rutherford (@RepRutherfordFL) January 9, 2021โIn choosing party over country, Congressman Rutherford played a very real part in the events that led to Officer Sicknickโs death,โ the group said.
