Violent insurrection at the Capitol by Trumpsters – 5 Dead
Five people died as a result of the violent protests at the US Capitol by then President Donald Trump supporters. One woman was shot inside the Capitol and four others died after suffering a series of different medical emergencies. Among them was Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick, who suffered two strokes a day after confronting rioters at the January 6 insurrection, motivated by Trump and his gang of riotous supporters.
After a rally with fiery speeches by Trump, his lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and others, the mob stormed the Capitol in their attempt to block the certification of the election and to overturn the results. Trump, a narcissist who resents losing, had sown seeds of election fraud long before the election in efforts to disguise his defeat and to claim fraud after the election. At the January 6 “Save America rally, he repeated these claims of a rigged election and said to the thousands of supporters gathered in the nation’s capital, “If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
