HONORE'S 'OFFENSIVE' COMMENTS SHOULD DISQUALIFY HIM FROM CAPITOL SECURITY REVIEW, REPUBLICANS TELL PELOSIHonoré's impartiality in conducting such a review in the first place has become a point of concern for Republicans, who cite his past disparaging comments made online against Capitol Police. National Guard troops currently supplement U.S. Capitol Police, "which is temporarily sufficient but not a permanent solution." Honoré reiterated that he made those statements before he was appointed to conduct the security review, McCarthy said. "Structure dictates behavior, and a Capitol Police Board dominated by political appointees is no way to maintain the security of the Capitol," McCarthy said. According to the report, Congress must direct Capitol Police to address immediate shortfalls, currently 233 officers, through enhanced recruiting and incentive programs.
