LaToya A. Getz, wife of a Capitol Police officer, sent a letter seen by TMZ to Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman, criticizing her for her “lack of leadership.”
“I represent the wives of the United States Capitol Police who are carrying the weight right now, and we will not be ignored,” Getz wrote.
According to Getz, the Capitol police were not vaccinated, although she had written two letters requesting their vaccination. “This has fallen on deaf ears,” he wrote.

“We are offended that the leaders of the United States Capitol Police have let down their employees and our families,” he said.
