Letter: Only one violent death in Capitol riot

Brian Sicknick, the White House police officer who died on Jan. 6 (God rest his soul) was not killed by Trump supporters wielding fire extinguishers, as reported by CNN, MSNBC, and other media outlets. No, he died of natural causes as a result of two brain hemorrhages. There was no external or internal evidence of physical injury. I believe CNN and MSNBC, in their zeal to make Trump look bad, circulated lies about Brian’s cause of death. Now watch: there will be no recanting or apologies.

The only person killed during the protests was a unarmed female Trump supporter (three other Trump supporters died of natural causes). She was shot in the shoulder by police. But, we still have no idea by whom or why. What would happen, in any other city, if a BLM protester was killed by police? Can you imagine?
