The reaction to Tucker Carlson’s showing the video tapes from January 6th is just as interesting as the video tapes. This article highlights one of the lies the video debunks.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Power Line Blog<\/a> posted an article detailing one of the most egregious lies:<\/p>\n The Democrats\u2019 preferred narrative is that Trump supporters \u201cincited a deadly insurrection.\u201d Police officers were killed. Initially, in unison, the legacy media repeated the claim (started by the New York Times) that Sicknick (Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick) had been struck in the head with a fire extinguisher by a protestor. The mob had killed him. Carlson said:<\/strong><\/p>\n But only after that lie had hardened into conventional wisdom did the newspaper bother to retract it. \u2026 Brian Sicknick, a Trump voter, had been transformed without his consent into a political martyr of the left.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Democrats\u2019 insisted that Sicknick\u2019s cremated remains lie in honor at the Capitol Rotunda for maximum political impact. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were the first of many to pay their respects to the fallen officer. Or rather to exploit his death.<\/strong><\/p>\n But it turned out that Sicknick had not been \u201cmurdered by the mob outside.\u201d In fact, after his murder was said to have occurred, he is captured on video walking normally, even vigorously, directing people through the corridors of the Capitol (at the 19:45 mark).<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis tape overturns the single most powerful and politically useful lie the Democrats have told us about Jan. 6,\u201d Carlson said. He knows that Jan. 6 Committee investigators saw this particular clip because the \u201cfootage contains an electronic bookmark that is still archived in the Capitol\u2019s computer system.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n There were actually at least two protesters killed on January 6th. One was Ashli Babbitt. The other was Rosanne Boyland<\/a><\/strong> who was killed inside a tunnel on the lower west terrace of the Capitol building. The official report was that Rosanne Boyland died of a drug overdose, but the witnesses say otherwise (article here<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The reaction to Tucker Carlson’s showing the video tapes from January 6th is just as interesting as the video tapes.
