Some of Massachusetts’ most prominent politicians are asking Bill Belichick to reject the Medal of Freedom Award from President Donald Trump in the wake of last week’s deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol Building.
A day after it was reported that Belichick is set to receive the award on Thursday, Democrats from the House of Representatives introduced their impeachment resolution. The president is being charged with incitement of insurrection for last week’s siege of the U.S. Capitol.
Moments after the House’s charge, Sen. Ed Markey said that Belichick would likely be receiving the award on the same day Trump is impeached.
