President Biden Recalls Himself and Jill Attending the Funerals of Police Officers Killed January 6

President Biden had planned to deliver his Valley Forge speech on the third anniversary of the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol, but bad weather forced him to deliver his speech a day early. And what a speech it was. "We nearly lost America," Biden said of January 6. Then he proudly announced that the "insurrectionists" had been sentenced collectively to 840 years in prison. At the end of all the bluster, Visiting Angel Dr. Jill Biden led her husband by the hand offstage so he wouldn't get lost again.

Whenever we hear the word "deadly" in conjunction with January 6, we think of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed in the Capitol. Yes, it was deadly — but when liberals use the word "deadly," they're referring to all of the Capitol Police officers who lost their lives that day. The New York Times reported that Officer Brian Sicknick was bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher. Except he wasn't. He died the following day of natural causes, ruled the medical examiner. Sicknick's death was even included in the Democrats' second impeachment attempt.

No police officers died in the "insurrection" or as a result of it.

Nevertheless, Biden and his wife attended the funerals of police officers who died as a result of January 6.

Where are the fact-checkers? Misinformation online is a danger to democracy. And this is misinformation. There's no excuse three years later not to know this.

Bden did attend a memorial service at the Capitol a month after the “insurrection”, and a month after the false narrative had been adopted by all the government’s flacks.

Here was our country’s official propaganda arm, NPR, reporting after its masters had set the official agenda:

Capitol Police officer killed in insurrection honored at U.S. Capitol

Published on Feb 2, 2021 5:50 PM EST

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional leaders paid tribute Wednesday to slain U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick in the building he died defending, promising his family and his fellow officers that they will never forget his sacrifice.

Sicknick died after an insurrectionist mob stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, interrupting the electoral count after then-President Donald Trump urged them to “fight like hell” to overturn his defeat. The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that Sicknick, who died the next day, was injured “while physically engaging with protesters,” though the cause of his death has not been determined.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sicknick was a patriot who will be remembered by lawmakers each day as they enter the Capitol. “We will never forget,” she promised his family, who attended the ceremony.

The 42-year-old officer was only the fifth person to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda, a designation for those who are not elected officials, judges or military leaders. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, along with their spouses, paid their respects during two days of visitation Tuesday and Wednesday, as did members of Congress and his fellow law enforcement officers. Both Biden, who visited Tuesday night, and Harris on Wednesday laid their hands on the urn in remembrance.

…. The ceremony came a week before a Senate impeachment trial that will issue a verdict on Trump’s role in the riots, and as shaken members of Congress grapple with what the violence means for the future of the country and their own security. While lawmakers were largely united in denouncing the riots, and Trump’s role in them, the parties are now largely split on how to move forward. At the same time, the building has been cut off from the public, surrounded by large metal fences and defended by the National Guard.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, speaking at the ceremony, talked of the deep scars left by the assault.

“Let us all be a comfort to those who continue to recover from injuries, seen and unseen, from the attack on Jan. 6,” Schumer said.

He said Sicknick was the “quiet rock” of his unit who was “caught at the wrong place at the wrong time, on a day when peace was shattered.”

The day was full of solemn ceremony and of reminders of the violence that occurred a month ago. Some of the evidence remains visible, including shattered windows and dented wood doors. Sicknick’s urn was carried through one of the entrances the rioters broke through, and groups of them paraded through the Rotunda where his ashes lay. The lawmakers who attended the ceremony — some of them wiping away tears — evacuated the House and Senate as the rioters closed in.

…. There are still questions about Sicknick’s death, which was one of five resulting from the rioting. As the mob forced its way in, Sicknick was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher, two law enforcement officials said. He collapsed later on, was hospitalized and died. The officials could not discuss the ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.

Investigators are also examining whether he may have ingested a chemical substance during the riot that may have contributed to his death, the officials said. [It didn’t — Ed]
