What Happened to Officer Brian Sicknick?

No one should discount the idea that Democrats and the news media would intentionally promote a totally fabricated story to destroy Donald Trump and vilify his supporters.

The claim is so pervasive as not to be questioned: Five people died as a result of the January 6 โ€œinsurrectionโ€ at the Capitol building, killed by blood-thirsty Trump voters at the presidentโ€™s behest, out for revenge over a stolen election.

Even though only one deathโ€”the shooting of Ashli Babbitt by a still-unidentified police officerโ€”is provable by video evidence, the other fatalities nonetheless are accepted as an article of faith to stoke public outrage about what happened that day.

The most tragic death, the media and lawmakers lament, is that of United States Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick. The 42-year-old New Jersey native was a 12-year veteran of the Capitol police force and himself a supporter of Donald Trump.

Before details about his death could be confirmed, the media quickly insisted Sicknick died after he was attacked at the Capitol. 

โ€œA United States Capitol Police officer died Thursday night from injuries sustained when he engaged with a pro-Trump mob that descended on the U.S. Capitol the day before,โ€ the New York Times reported January 8. The officer, according to the Times, had been โ€œstruck . . . in the head with a fire extinguisher, according to two law enforcement officials. With a bloody gash in his head, Mr. Sicknick was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support.โ€

Sicknick died on January 7. A statement released by the police department later that night vaguely supported the mediaโ€™s emerging narrative.

Narrative vs. Evidence

Democrats wasted no time exploiting Sicknickโ€™s untimely death. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) immediately ordered flags flown at half-staff at the Capitol; news and opinion outlets on both the Left and NeverTrump Right blamed the so-called โ€œinsurrectionistsโ€ for killing Sicknick.

National Review claimed, without evidence, that Sicknick was โ€œmurdered.โ€ The president and his allies in the Senate, pundits raged, were accomplices. โ€œWhen he told followers to โ€˜STAND UP,โ€™ they listened and murdered a cop while storming the Capitol,โ€ one Washington Examiner writer tweeted about the role of Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.). โ€œMake him pay.โ€
