Biden keeps Repeating Lie that Jan. 6 Protesters Killed Brian Sicknick
- Joe Biden can’t stop lying about January 6 protesters, alleging they killed not just one but two officers
- Media lied for months about Brian Sicknick, but his death was due to ‘natural causes’ according to the government
OUR RATING: Journalistic Malpractice. Even Salon.com is ashamed.
Indicted Outlet: Joseph Biden | U.S. President | Link | Archive | 5/28/22
Breitbart first noticed that Joe Biden keeps lying about the death of Brian Sicknick, [1] a Capitol Police officer who died of natural causes after the January 6, 2021 protest against voter fraud.
Major Violations:
- Lying
- Misrepresenting a source
- Smearing
- Exaggeration
- Fundamental Dishonesty
Here are Biden’s exact words:
A mob of insurrectionists stormed the Capitol, the very citadel of democracy. Imagine what you’d be thinking today if you had heard this morning before you got here that a group of a thousand people broke down the doors of the parliament of Great Britain, killed two police officers, smashed and ransacked the office of members of the British Parliament or any other, what would you think?
There were not two police officers, or any police officers, who were killed during the January 6, 2021 protests against voter fraud.
This has been a long-running smear against the protesters from that day.
There has also been no evidence to ever support those scandalous claims.
The main officer that is claimed to have died is Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick.
There is no evidence that Brian Sicknick died of anything other than what was referenced as “natural [2] causes.” [3]
Somewhat embarrassingly in retrospect, Sicknick’s body was allowed to lay in state in the Capitol in February 2021 because of the lie that he died from being attacked by protesters. [4] The media sold these Sicknick lies, the political class amplified these lies, and two months later they were proven to be lies: Sicknick died from his own personal medical problems, not because of protesters.
The autopsy was carried out by the DC Coroner in April 2021. [5]
The Capitol Police accepted these findings. [6]
The Department of Justice was caught lying about Jan. 6th Defendants having used ‘bear spray’ on Officer Sicknick. [7] We now know that was another major lie about the Sicknick case by DOJ prosecutors. [8]
Since April 2021 it has been a settled issue that Brian Sicknick died from natural causes. [9]
Yet this lie about Brian Sicknick keeps coming up.
The New York Times was the source for the original major media malpractice in this story, when they falsely claimed that Sicknick was hit by a fire extinguisher and was left with a bloody gash in his head. [11] Now we know this was all disinformation spread by government agents.
Instead of even addressing the lie, Biden is using it by reference in an extended metaphor. [12]
This has to be some of the most cynical uses of official government lies and propaganda possible: instead of saying obvious lies, they make the lies through a lying metaphor.
OUR RATING: Journalistic Malpractice. Even Salon.com is ashamed.
