It looks like they did it again.
Like so many fabricated storylines intended to damage Donald Trump and his supporters, the New York Times cited anonymous sources to support a shocking claim in an article alleging Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was murdered by a Trump “insurrectionist” on January 6.
“[P]ro-Trump rioters attacked that citadel of democracy, overpowered Mr. Sicknick, 42, and struck him in the head with a fire extinguisher, (Snip) But the narrative about what happened to Sicknick is quickly unraveling, as I wrote earlier this week. Not only is CNN, the network that helped perpetuate the initial storyline for more than a month, questioning the circumstances about

I never believed this lie. The reports of him dying of a stroke fit the facts better, and I KNOW that NYT never, ever is anything but a propaganda outlet. I discounted the NYT and CNN versions immediately, went with the stroke.
And this, once again, proves to be a viable strategy for trying to avoid being propagandized by the liars at NYT and CNN.
Never bother even reading what NYT and CNN put out, or if another source is using them as the original source - KNOW that it is very likely a lie. Look for alternative sources of information if you want truth.

I'm also betting heavily that there is more to that woman's murder than anyone is letting on.

Clearly the office supported President Trump; the commies are just trying to make something out of it. The day after the event, people were told to check with the officer's family. They didn't want all this hullabaloo.

On the business of bear spray, which the NYT now said is being investigated as a cause of death, it would be unlikely to cause death. It is not a targeted spray intended to disable (as pepper spray is). It is a weaker concentration of the same active ingredient, which disburses in a cloud. It is not considered to be good for self-defense.

This could be put rest easily. Where is the autopsy report?

I think the NYT, CNN and MSNBC are trying to out-idiot each other.

If that is so #7, it's a never-ending battle between the Morons of the Media.

McCarthy said that Pres. Trump was watching TV while all of this was going on? How does he know that? We still don't know where Obama and Hillary were when the mascara at Benghazi occurred and I don't think any reporter ever tried to find out.

And what are The Slimes and all the leftists and Trump-haters going to say when the truth comes out about George Floyd - - that he died of a massive drug overdose which the police had nothing to do with?
I'll never forget that Ted Cruz specifically said that Floyd was "murdered" by the police.
The vicious lies and endless hoaxes never stop - - and the doofus Pubbies never stop falling for them. The only one we can always rely on is Fightin' Roy Blunt.

Thank you, #4. There were a couple of reports like that at the time, and I believed them, and I never believe the NYT or CNN. Both are Fake News, all the time.

They know exactly what he died of. It's been over a month since the autopsy.
The fact that they haven't been shouting the cause of death or launching a nationwide manhunt says it wasn't homicide.
But there's no mileage to be had and no martyr to be created from a heart attack, stroke or OD.

I must have missed something here. They haven't given a cause of death for this officer or a name of the officer who killed the woman protester. Is that correct? Doesn't that seem strange...

BTW, whatever happened to a report about the young woman that was shot by one of Pelousi's officers??? She was unarmed! Is that the reason why Pelousi is now giving them all special medals? Watch the picture and you can see how they usher the crowd in. Sicknick's family from the very start stated that he was sick and was not murdered by a fire extinguisher. Mmm, perhaps the people who did this were fake rioters from the left?!?!?

' The only one we can always rely on is Fightin' Roy Blunt.' Really, #10? I must confess that I keep seeing this reference and have yet to see any history that supports it. Perhaps you're being sarcastic?

The Times has also shifted gears re Sicknick’s cause of death. It seems to me that it’s time for his family to clarify this. Surely they know. He texted his brother from the hospital the night of the riot, saying he was feeling fine - that he’d just been sprayed with pepper spray. Now they are looking at possible bear spray...
