Brother of Capitol police officer who died after the January 6 riot says Trump riled up his 'sycophants' at Ellipse rally

During an interview on CNN's "New Day," Ken Sicknick — the brother of the late officer Brian D. Sicknick — told reporter Kaitlan Collins of his frustrations with the revelations from Thursday's January 6 committee hearing.

The question remains of what Trump was doing for the more than three hours between 1:10 p.m., when the then-president was ending his remarks at the Ellipse

"We are focusing on the fact that he just didn't act at all for three hours, which is just absolutely ridiculous," Ken Sicknick said on CNN. "For the first time in a long time, I'm angry from seeing it again and realizing that he did nothing."

He continued: "Overall, we should be focused on the fact that he started this whole thing to begin with. So yeah, he's at fault for not stopping it, but he's really at fault for riling up the crowds and getting his sycophants following whatever word he said. I'd like to focus on the fact that he's responsible for it happening in the first place.

"Ken Sicknick then called out Trump what he said was the former president's lack of concern about the country.

"It's obvious to me that his existence in the White House had nothing to do with helping the country, had nothing to do with looking out for the best interest of the country," he said.

"The silence of the three hours? It could have been him stuck, deciding whether to say something. But ultimately it was him covering his rear end and him making sure that he was in power and that he could not admit to anything happening and I can't comprehend him not doing a thing to stop that. He knew what was going on minutes after his little rally," he added.

There is no good justification where a President sits around watching TV for hours as the Capitol is breached.

C'mon, get with it, we all know Trump wasn't watching TV. He was attempting to wrestle the wheel away from his Secret Service driver while attempting to choke him off.

Trump was selfish to summon supporters to that snake pit of a city.

You bet, and after he said, "Go in peace to the Capitol", an open mic caught him whispering, "And when ya get there, kick ass, raise hell and riot".

How much did he get for that?

Stating the obvious, he must be a democrat or a never-Trumper.

The government has been sitting around for years while city business districts are burned, monuments vandalized, arsonists burn police stations, anarchists flung Molotov cocktails, and Occupy whackos squatted on land that doesn’t belong to them. Since 2009 neither Obama or Biden lifted a finger to stop any of it, but only encouraged it.
