On Thursday, Brian Sicknick, an officer with the US Capitol Police, died from injuries sustained during the storming of the Capitol building. Democratic leaders have presented Sicknick as a martyr of the #Resistance against President Trump and his dangerous supporters.
Reality is more complicated.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi described Sicknick’s death as a reminder of the need to “protect our country from all threats, foreign and domestic.” President-elect Joe Biden suggested that whoever backed Trump supports “an all-out assault on our institutions of our democracy.” The day’s violence, it seems, has become an all-purpose excuse to denounce and silence anyone not sufficiently anti-Trump.
Yet neither Biden nor Pelosi reckoned with an uncomfortable fact: Sicknick was a Trump supporter himself, as his friend Caroline Behringer announced shortly after his death. Far from sharing the views of the #Resistance, he had written letters to his congressman opposing Trump’s impeachment.
Like many Trump supporters who are now being censored, he believed that the system is fundamentally rigged in favor of a narrow elite. He had used fiery rhetoric, even called for regime change in America.
The people who claim to honor Sicknick have elided these facts.
...The same people who launched a costly and failed war in Iraq now hope to humiliate and silence Trump’s supporters. But the concerns that led to the rise of Trump won’t disappear until our failed elites pay for their mistakes.
When they smear Trump voters, they dishonor Officer Sicknick’s memory.

They don't care.
1 will get you 1000 that the guy that hit the cop with the fire extinguisher was a democrap too, just like the confederate flag guy and the horned idiot.
Since when did the left care about facts?
Its a shame that the democrats are using his death as a political wedge in this country. They never have any shame or decency. Its always about destroying anyone they perceive is in their way 100% of the time.
Brian was a great man and will be missed.
I’m really not sure what his political affiliation has to do with anything...
I highly doubt the folks who attacked him even knew it.
What is despicable however is that it appears the LEO who killed Babbit appears to have some very very disturbing political ties.
The only problem with this story is that it rests on a false premise, that officer Sicknick died of injuries sustained at the capitol on January 6. It’s false.
Sicknick appears to have been injured by pepper spray, but died later of unrelated causes.
Why don’t we know the name of the person who killed the Capitol policeman? Surely it event must be on video somewhere.
“an all-out assault on our institutions of our democracy.”
The key word here is “our”. In their demented minds, they think it only as a singular. It is “their” democracy and no other persons.
Then the Louts statement. Its all about them.
Biden wont survive the year. He will die, and not by the hand of man.
The family has said he was struck in the head, but that report is not specific about details.
The only people who believe any of that are already on FR.
This would be a more accurate statement
"President-elect Joe Biden suggested that whoever backed Trump supports “an all-out assault on our intensions to institute communism.”
“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”
– George Orwell
Have we ever seen video, or even a still, of this “hit the cop with a fire extinguisher” event?
This story is a LIE. As reported by his brother, Sicknick was not injured by a thrown fire extinguisher and died from a totally unrelated medical condition.
Yesterday, a guy was arrested for throwing a fire extinguisher into a group of Capitol Police. Everyone assumed that was film of Sicknick getting hurt.
Now, they are saying Sicknick was not in that group, and he was hit by a different fire extinguisher.
If true, I have seen no public photographic evidence of Sicknick being attacked.
First time I have heard that.
Any details? A link?
Thanks in advance.
It has not been determined that he died from injuries. The author starts off the MARXIST lie.
He may have died from a health condition. He told his brother he had only been pepper sprayed.
I have seen a video of someone throwing a fire extinguisher into a group of police officers. I believe he was arrested.
It has not been determined that Sicknick was one of them. He told his brother he had only been pepper sprayed.
The MARXIST media runs with the mantra they like. Damn the facts!
“1 will get you 1000 that the guy that hit the cop with the fire extinguisher was a democrap too, just like the confederate flag guy and the horned idiot.”

Am I the only person that read a report that said Brian Sicknick was not hit by anything. The claim has been debunked. The man died of natural causes.
